Poland shuts down government services platform ePUAP following cyberattack

Authorities have not disclosed how the attack was carried out or who was responsible. There has been no public confirmation that hackers gained access to government systems or stole sensitive information.

The ministry has not provided a timeline for restoring the platform, saying services will resume once security specialists complete their work.

According to a notice on the government's website, ePUAP electronic mailboxes remain unavailable to citizens and public institutions. The disruption could also temporarily affect the Trusted Profile digital identity system, which allows people to access public services and electronically sign official documents.

Poland has faced repeated cyberattacks targeting government institutions, critical infrastructure and private companies in recent months.

In October, Polish online invoicing provider Fakturownia reported a data breach that may have exposed information belonging to its users, customers and business partners.

In September, hackers also stole data from Qbusoft, a Polish healthcare software provider, following a separate breach involving medical technology company MyDr. Polish authorities said the MyDr incident potentially affected information relating to about 19 million people and roughly 12,000 healthcare organizations.
