Russians behind Dworczyk's emails scandal: report

The latest report on the group behind the so-called Dworczyk's emails scandal indicates that the hackers were commissioned and under the control of the Russian military intelligence service GRU.

The scandal called Dworczyk's emails shocked the Polish political scene. Conversations between top officials in Poland were regularly published. For a long time it was not known who was behind the leak, suspicions fell on the opposition, competition within Law and Justice and foreign secret services.

In November 2021, the Mandiant company published a report in which it said with high probability that the Dworczyk's emails are part of the Ghostwriter disinformation campaign carried out by the hacking group UNC1151. The group, on the other hand, operates according to Mandiant on behalf of the Belarusian government. The company's report did not rule out, however, that Russia may also be involved in the actions.

According to the latest report by Recorded Future, there is evidence that Russia interfered with, commissioned or impersonated the Belarusian group. Recorded Future writes that there is a considerable amount of evidence that shows that Russian representatives of the military and scientific sectors are engaged in joint efforts with the Belarusian government in the field of cybersecurity and information warfare.

Recorded Future analysis coincides with the opinions of Polish experts who pointed out that if the Ghostwriter operation is carried out from Belarus, it is done with the full knowledge or the leadership of Russia's special services.
