Poland has recently faced a significant cyberattack that compromised sensitive personal data from a loan platform. According to Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs Janusz Gawkowski, hackers accessed a wide range of information, including names, national identification numbers (PESEL), ID card details, email addresses, phone numbers, and even employment and banking details. The breach has raised alarms, prompting national cybersecurity teams to investigate and the Polish Personal Data Protection Office to get involved. Gawkowski emphasized the importance of caution for affected users, advising them to change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and use the mObywatel app to block their PESEL numbers to prevent identity theft. He also announced the upcoming launch of a government website, bezpiecznedane.gov.pl, which will allow citizens to check if their data has been compromised. The minister highlighted the growing prevalence of such cyberattacks, stressing that both companies and individuals need to be vigilant against online threats. This breach follows other recent security incidents in Poland, including a temporary outage of the BLIK mobile payment system and a data leak from the ITAKA travel agency. The increasing frequency of these attacks suggests a pressing need for improved cybersecurity measures across various sectors.
