Cyberattacks hit the Slovak and Polish parliaments on Thursday, bringing down the voting system in Slovakia’s legislature, parliamentary authorities said.
“The attack was multi-directional, including from inside the Russian Federation,” the Polish Senate said in a statement.
Polish Senate speaker Tomasz Grodzki said it may be linked to the Senate’s vote Wednesday declaring the Russian government a “terrorist regime”.
The Slovak parliament’s deputy speaker Gabor Grendel told AFP: that “Parliament’s entire computer network has been paralysed”.
“Around 11 am (0900 GMT), we were about to vote when the head of our administrative department informed us there has been a cyberattack on the IT system of the parliament,” he said.
