The agency now works with the Polish Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT NASK) and the Polish Military Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT MON) to restore impacted services. The Polish Space Agency (POLSA) has been offline since it disconnected its systems from the Internet over the weekend to contain a breach of its IT infrastructure. While no updates have been published since Sunday, sources inside the agency told The Register that staff was asked to use phones after the attackers compromised POLSA's email systems. It also helps Polish entrepreneurs obtain funds from the European Space Agency (ESA) and works with other ESA Members, the EU, and other countries on various space exploration projects. CSIRT NASK, together with CSIRT MON, supports POLSA in activities aimed at restoring the operational functioning of the Agency," said Krzysztof Gawkowski, Poland's Minister of Digital Affairs. Established in September 2014, POLSA is a European Space Agency (ESA) member. After detecting the attack, the agency reported the incident to relevant authorities and launched an investigation to assess its impact. POLSA has not disclosed the nature of the security incident and has yet to attribute the attack to a specific threat actor. Its priorities include supporting the Polish space industry and increasing Polish defense capabilities through satellite systems.
