A citizen of Russia has been arrested in Krakow, Poland, and charged with cybercrimes. The man is suspected of interfering with the telecommunications systems of local companies. The court has remanded him in custody for three months on suspicion of hacking the information systems of an online store and disseminating interference in their structure. Poland's Minister of Internal Affairs noted that the investigation is ongoing, and the prosecutor's office is checking for possible connections with other cybercriminals.
The arrested Russian citizen illegally crossed the border into Poland in 2022 and was granted refugee status in 2023. The prosecutor's office is also looking into potential damages caused by his actions but is not disclosing more information due to the interests of the investigation.
