A Polish government official says Poland has been hit by a 'complex disinformation operation' that is consistent with previous Russian cyberattacks.
He said it appears aimed at weakening the Polish-U.S. alliance and sowing anti-American feeling.
The spokesman for the head of the country’s security services told The Associated Press that Poland has been a target of Russian propaganda for many years, and that the efforts have been intensifying lately.
The official said the latest attack was on a Polish military academy and featured a fake post calling on Polish soldiers to fight the “American occupation.”
U.S. troops are stationed in Poland at the country's request.
