Authorities, including spokesmen to the Prime Minister were not clear on that matter ("it's not hacker attack"), but everything indicates, that the outages were caused by DDoS attacks.The attacks conducted by Anonymous are likely to be a protest against Polish government plans to sign the treaty known as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) on January 26th.

Anonymous group has recently posted on Twitter "Dear Polish government, we will continue to disrupt and interfere with your government official websites until the 26th. Do not pass ACTA"
