• Poland is increasing its cyber security budget to a record €1bn this year, after Russian sabotage attempts targeted hospitals and urban water supplies

• Dariusz Standerski, deputy minister for digital affairs, told the Financial Times that #Poland was facing between 20 and 50 attempts to damage critical infrastructure every day, most of which are thwarted

• In those cases, attackers reportedly managed to breach digital records and gain access to sensitive medical data. Analysts warned that even short-term disruptions in healthcare could have dangerous consequences for patient safety, while data theft raised questions about long-term privacy risks.
