WARSAW (Reuters) - Disinformation attributable to Russian and Belarusian services spiked on the internet by around 300% during the first days of severe flooding in Poland, the country's deputy premier and digitalisation minister was quoted on Wednesday as saying.
The worst floods in at least two decades left many towns in central Europe, including southwestern Poland, submerged earlier this month, and the government warned of a spread of disinformation at the same time.
