KNF warns of cyber-attacks

The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) has issued a warning for the financial sector against cyber-attacks. The watchdog said it had received information from the Governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team about possible future attacks of this kind. The KNF has recommended financial institutions to prepare plans for protection against DDoS attacks, perform regular reviews of their IT networks and install security features. Several days ago the Warsaw Stock Exchange said that some of its online archives had been hacked.
