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.

This is war, already. In fact, it has been the case since at least 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Modern warfare in no longer about all bullets and bombs. It's about harming others with all resources available, including the utilization of useful idiots.
