An unusual incident occurred in the Polish city of Szczecin. There, hackers operating with Putin’s speech caused a railway collapse.

A group of attackers managed to paralyze train traffic for some time.

At the same time, they included the Russian anthem and an excerpt from Vladimir Putin’s speech.

The authoritative Polish newspaper Wyborcza, MIA Rossiya Segodnya, reported on this opportunity in Szczecin.

According to the Polish publication, the incident happened on Friday evening, August 25.

Someone on railway frequencies broadcast a signal about an emergency stop of trains, and during the break they played the Russian anthem and a fragment of Putin’s speech, the article says.

It also reports that as a result of the hacking of the security system, two branches were immobilized at once.

The railway workers notified the police about this, after which the system was able to be restored.

As Wyborcza writes, law enforcement officers are currently carrying out operational activities to search for hackers.
