Poland cyber safety recommendations

In early July 2026, Polish authorities issued guidance urging businesses and individuals to strengthen email and mobile device protection. The advice emphasized modern mail systems that automatically detect suspicious messages, block dangerous attachments, and enforce two‑factor authentication. It also recommended using long, unique passwords or passphrases, employing password managers, promptly applying security updates, and securing mobile devices with screen locks, hidden notifications, and built‑in location services for remote tracking and erasure.

Later in July, the focus expanded to include Polish travelers facing rising holiday expenses and heightened fraud risks. Analysts warned that travel can increase exposure to phishing, identity theft, and other cyber‑crime threats. Recommendations reiterated the use of two‑factor authentication and vigilant monitoring of bank alerts. The Ministry of Digitalisation promoted the mObywatel mobile app for handling administrative tasks and for quickly blocking lost passports or IDs via a national document‑blocking system. Additional advice suggested using solar‑powered security cameras to monitor homes remotely while abroad. Both releases reflect an ongoing effort by Polish officials to raise public awareness of digital security across everyday and travel contexts.
