Hot Take:

It seems like Poland’s space agency has been hit by a cyber meteor! POLSA decided to yank the internet plug faster than a teenager caught sneaking a midnight snack. This cyberattack is shaping up to be a cosmic fiasco, and the only thing missing is a cow jumping over the moon. Let’s hope they can reboot their systems before the aliens decide to send in their own tech support!

Key Points:

  • POLSA disconnected its network from the internet in response to a cyberattack.
  • The attack is speculated to be a ransomware incident, potentially by a nation-state actor.
  • POLSA is working with CSIRT NASK and CSIRT MON to restore operations.
  • No technical details about the attack have been released yet.
  • Investigation is ongoing, with updates to follow as the situation develops.
