"Two Men Arrested Following Poland Railway Hacking"

Polish police recently arrested two men suspected of illegally hacking into the national railway’s communications network, which destabilized traffic in some areas of the country this weekend.  The Polish police noted that the two men arrested were Polish citizens.  Police also seized radio equipment from the apartment where the men, who are 24 and 29 years of age, were detained.  On Friday night, the radio communication network of the Polish PKP railway was hacked near the northwestern city of Szczecin, leading to the issuing of several stop signals, which brought to a standstill or delayed some 20 trains.  According to the PKP, traffic resumed a few hours later.  The police noted that the attacks continued on Saturday and Sunday in other parts of the country without posing major problems to traffic.
