Now that's some damn good trolling
Poland Sees 'Russian Cyberattack' Behind Fake Military Draft Report
The Polish government said Friday that a false story stating that Poles would be mobilised to fight in Ukraine that appeared on the state news agency was likely a Russian cyberattack.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the hacking attack as part of Russia's attempts to destabilise the European Union ahead of next month's European Parliament elections. The fake report was published Friday as NATO's foreign ministers met in the Czech Republic to discuss long-term support for Ukraine as it battles Russian forces.
"Given the probable Russian cyberattack on the Polish Press Agency and the release of disinformation on alleged mobilisation in Poland, the ABW and the digital ministry have taken swift action," security services spokesman Jacek Dobrzynski said on X, referring to the domestic security agency.
The Polish Press Agency (PAP) deleted the article a few minutes after it was published, adding that "the source of the text is not the Polish Press Agency". The article then appeared a second time before being deleted again.
The PAP said it was "investigating the circumstances around the appearance of the false story".
