Newag S.A. (pronounced "nevag") is a Polish company based in Nowy Sącz that specializes in the production, maintenance, and modernization of railway rolling stock.[1]

Backdoor Incident

In 2022, when maintenance was done on trains manufactured by Newag, malicious code and backdoors were discovered which were found to make the trains break down after third-party repairs.[2] The investigation against Newag is still on-going.
