Warsaw has recorded an unprecedented number of hybrid attacks on its territory since 2024, Poland’s internal security service (ABW) said in a report published this week. Amateur spies once used by Russian intelligence services have laid the groundwork for more complex operations, according to a researcher following the emergence of these “single-use agents”.

The ABW report about ‘single-use agents’ is alarming; these amateurs are being used as disposable pawns to probe Poland’s defenses before more serious operations.
I wonder how many of these hybrid attacks involve sabotage or cyber ops—the report says they’ve laid groundwork for complex missions, which is terrifying.
Poland’s internal security service seems overwhelmed if they’re calling this unprecedented. We need stronger EU-wide cooperation to counter Russian espionage.
It’s unsettling that Russian intelligence is using amateurs as ‘disposable spies’—it shows they’re willing to sacrifice people just to test our security systems.
