Islamist cyberattack on Polish company?
Islamic State hackers have attacked the web page of Polish transport company Michalus from Małopolskie voivodship. "We are everywhere," goes the inscription the hackers left on the main page. The incident occurred mid-March, but the company have decided to reveal the information recently. The hackers uploaded a photo of the ISIS flag and a message below: "You have been hacked by the Islamic State. We are everywhere." Renata Badzioch, the company's manager, was surprised to see that the Islamists had chosen the company she works for as a cyberattack target. "I was very surprised. Why did they choose us? Our buses operate on European routes mainly, recently we have been traveling to France. We were in Morocco two, three years ago. Maybe they did not like the fact that we cooperated with Caritas charity there?" she wondered. After the company had reported the issue to an IT company, the web page was back within an hour.
