Security researchers scanned the Polish web and found courts, hospitals, and airports at risk of hacks
Security researchers discovered over 10,000 Polish public entities and 250,000 websites containing critical vulnerabilities, including critical infrastructure like courts, hospitals, and airports—exposing the nation to significant cyber risks amid ongoing state-sponsored attacks. The findings highlight systemic gaps in vendor patch management, lack of bug bounty programs, and insufficient vulnerability reporting mechanisms across public sector organizations. IT leaders must recognize this as a wake-up call that legacy systems, end-of-life software, and fragmented security practices create enterprise-wide risk that extends beyond individual organizations to national security and public safety.

Researchers found common points of failure, like software used to organize and display web content, could have allowed hackers to run riot through government websites.
