The Polish sports channel TVP Sport fell victim to a hacker attack during the Euro Cup, resulting in Polish viewers being unable to watch the Poland vs. Netherlands match until the second half.
Marek Skornicki, a former head of TVP Sport, sarcastically criticized the editorial team: “This live stream online was fantastic.”
The current director of TVP Sport explained on social media, “Around 3 pm, TVP noticed a DDoS attack coming from Polish IP addresses. Less than a minute later, we started cooperating with national operators to take action against the attack, which helped mitigate it and restore IT services. I apologize to all fans who were unable to watch the program online.”
