In computer code of Newag trains, a disabling script for non-company services was found, as reported by ZaufanaTrzeciaStrona.pl and Onet.pl. Newag's owner denies the allegations, but the company's stock takes a hit on the market. Hackers discovered intentional glitches in Newag trains' code, allegedly commissioned by a company winning a service tender. The firm faced issues activating the trains after maintenance, affecting Impuls series trains used by Koleje Dolnośląskie.
Code inspection revealed manipulative software causing faults if trains were inactive for over 10 days, with location conditions for specific areas. Newag's owner called the reports misleading, intending legal action. Stock dropped over 6%.
