Polish Anti Doping Agency (POLADA) has been hacked.
Leak includes athletes’ personal data, health data, medical records, TUEs, test protocols, psychological evaluations, photos from searches etc.
Responsible is probably a Russian hacker group, but according to the article, the equally responsible is POLADA itself, for keeping the data not encrypted and storing passwords in plain text.

Since it is in Polish they figured nobody else would be able to read it?

robot has been neutralized. (i unplugged it.)
Have you had to do that often? I feel like I haven’t seen that problem round these parts.
Also, yikes what an intrusive leak.

Having spent my youth learning Polish I can assure you that it would’ve been a decent encryption method a couple of hundreds years ago 
nowadays it shouldn’t be a big deal to run through a translator… I really tried to find a decent article in English, but none has been so exhaustive as the one I linked to. All the others are more or less a copy-paste from the POLADA statement, which only mentions athletes’ personal data being leaked, with no word about health, medical, TUEs etc.
What saddens me is the situation & privacy of Polish (and Ukrainian) athletes. What I think should concern all of you is the anti-doping collaboration model. WADA governs over national agencies, but there’re no standards met. In this case POLADA might have failed in securing the data, while other organisations might fail at their core job of catching dopers, sometimes even intentionally.

i catch most of these when the bot tries to register.
