A group of hackers has discovered that the rail vehicle manufacturer Newag intentionally caused train malfunctions to secure contracts for their repair. According to Rzeczpospolita, this information comes from a group of hackers known as Dragon Sector, hired by railway companies in Poland and specializing in IT security on an international scale.
After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a “safeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.
