Belarus-linked hackers target Polish presidential candidate Trzaskowski with SMS disinformation

Belarusian hackers reportedly sent false SMS messages to discredit Rafał Trzaskowski ahead of Poland's 2025 elections, following a similar operation against Jarosław Kaczyński. Rzeczpospolita attributes the attack to Belarusian state services under Aleksandr Lukashenko, though attribution is not independently confirmed. This marks a pattern of Belarusian cyber interference in Polish politics, escalating ahead of a major election.
