Hackers breached a small Polish energy plant via private APN last year

Attackers compromised a Polish heat-and-power facility serving approximately 50,000 residents by exploiting a private APN (Access Point Name) to gain access to the operational technology network. The breach occurred over the course of a year. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in the network segmentation and access controls of critical energy infrastructure.

Why it matters: Energy utilities and critical infrastructure operators need to audit private APN configurations and network access controls immediately, as this attack vector directly threatens power and heating supply to large populations.
