These actions may be part of Russia's strategy for the destabilization of the European Union and violation of critical infrastructure in the region. This was stated by the Minister of Transport of the Czech Republic Martin Kupka, reports Financial Times. According to the source, Martin Puko reported that Moscow is suspected in thousands of attempts to weaken Europe's transport systems after the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine.
According to him, the hacker campaign included attacks on the alarm systems and the Network of the Czech National Railway Operator české Dráhy. Previous attacks have led to a disruption of ticket sales systems and caused anxiety due to interference with signal systems, which could potentially lead to serious accidents.
According to the latest report of the EU Agency on Cyber Security on the growth of threats to the transport industry, attacks on railway companies are becoming more common, mainly because of the war of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. The report noted large -scale cyber -attacks by "pro -Russian hacker groups" to railway companies in countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Estonia.
The Minister also stressed that the Czech Republic intends to deploy a project on the construction of a high -speed railway line, which will allow Berlin, Prague and Vienna within four hours, as well as impose restrictions on the participation of foreign operators in tenders. "It is not something like a ban, but we would prefer European companies.
