Poland’s security officials said Monday they have foiled cyberattacks and online blackmail attempts by groups acting for Russian and Belarusian services.

Poland has registered up to 1,000 online attacks daily targeting government institutions and agencies, officials said, linking them to the country's support for neighboring Ukraine in its 2 1/2-year war against Russia's invasion, The AP reported.

The group that was broken up was seeking access to information in state and individual companies with the goal of blackmailing them, said Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski.

He said that in the first half of 2024, more than 400,000 attempted or successful cyberattacks were recorded, compared to 370,000 in all of last year.

The government plans new legislation to increase Poland's cybersecurity, Gawkowski said. The government would like internet operators to store data on servers in Poland, not abroad, to ensure better internal protection and oversight by national authorities.

The Saudi Exports Development Authority (Saudi Exports) is taking part in the GITEX GLOBAL technology and communications exhibition held in Dubai between October 14 and 18.

Under the "Saudi Made" banner, the Saudi pavilion features 40 leading technology and communications companies, a testimony to the Kingdom's commitment to expanding the global reach of its businesses.

GITEX, one of the world's premier tech exhibitions, attracts a vast array of international companies and government entities. It is an important platform for reaching innovation and commercial partnerships in the technology sector.

Exports of Saudi services achieved a remarkable milestone in 2023, reaching a total value of SAR182 billion. The communications sector contributed significantly to this, accounting for SAR6.3 billion of the total. This growth underscores the sector's potential as a key driver of non-oil exports.

Saudi Exports is dedicated to supporting and empowering the services sector by providing it with tools to access new markets and expand its operations.
