"Sweden's minister for civil defense, Carl-Oskar Bohlin, stated that the cyberattack targeted a heating plant in western Sweden but ultimately failed. He did not provide further details."
"Bohlin compared the Swedish attack to coordinated cyberattacks in Poland that affected combined heat and power plants, indicating a direct link to Russian services."
"The attacks on critical infrastructure in Sweden and Poland could have serious societal consequences, reflecting Russia's risky and careless behavior."
"Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, over 150 incidents of sabotage and malign activity linked to Russia have been reported across Europe."
Sweden identified a pro-Russian group connected to Russian security services as responsible for a cyberattack on a heating plant last year. The attack, which failed, was part of a series of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure across Europe, including incidents in Poland. These attacks aim to undermine support for Ukraine and create fear in European societies. Over 150 incidents of sabotage linked to Russia have been tracked since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The Kremlin has denied involvement in these activities.
