Janusz Cieszynski, speaking on Polish public radio, said
authorities had not yet identified the source of the attacks, which come as
Russia presses a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland's eastern neighbour.
Ukraine has also suffered a series of cyberattacks in recent
weeks that Kyiv has blamed on Russia. Moscow has repeatedly denied any
involvement in the attacks.
"The website of the (Polish) national clearing system
and servers dedicated to the government email network have been attacked,"
Cieszynski said. "The attacks are being monitored. It's too early to
assign authorship of these attacks." Separately, the chief executive of
Poland's top power utility PGE SA, Wojciech Dabrowski, told the broadcaster
that his company's IT networks had also been attacked, but added that they
remained safe and that supply of heat and power had not been interrupted.
Poland on Monday increased its cybersecurity alert level
obliging operators of critical infrastructure to closely monitor their systems.
Western governments and many companies are on heightened
alert for cyberattacks after the announcement of sweeping economic sanctions on
Russia, whose forces on Friday were pounding Ukrainian cities including the
capital Kyiv.
