**Polish Police Uncover Advanced Hacking Tools in Stolen Vehicle**

In a significant development, Polish authorities have arrested three Ukrainian nationals for allegedly possessing advanced hacking tools intended to target sensitive IT systems and obtain defense-related data.

The suspects, aged 43, 42, and 39, were detained after Warsaw police stopped a Toyota on Senatorska Street and discovered a stash of suspicious items in the vehicle. According to a press release by the Polish police, the men claimed to be traveling through Europe, having just arrived in Poland before heading to Lithuania.

However, a thorough search of the vehicle revealed a cache of hacking equipment, including Flipper Zero – a portable multi-tool for pentesters and geeks that allows users to hack digital systems. The tool is fully open-source and customizable, making it a prized possession among hackers.

The trio was also found carrying a K19 counter-surveillance device that detects RF signals, GPS trackers, hidden cameras, and strong magnetic fields. Investigators suspect the men may have been attempting to damage strategic IT systems or break into IT and telecommunications networks.

Police officers seized a range of devices from the vehicle, including spy-device detectors, advanced hacking equipment, antennas, laptops, SIM cards, routers, portable hard drives, and cameras. The authorities also decrypted several seized devices that the men could not explain, fueling suspicions of fraud and computer crimes.

The suspects' claims to be IT experts were met with skepticism by investigators, who are now considering various scenarios for their involvement in the alleged hacking activities. As the case continues, materials have been forwarded to the Warsaw Śródmieście-Północ District Prosecutor’s Office.

The detainees face charges related to fraud, computer fraud, and obtaining devices and computer programs adapted for committing crimes, including attempting to damage computer data of particular importance to national defense. The case has sparked concerns about the potential threat posed by advanced hacking tools in the hands of unauthorized individuals.
