A growing number of signal passed at danger incidents has led to Poland's railway regulator UTK announcing that the most fequent offenders among train operating companies will be required to submit and execute plans for preventing such occurrences - and UTK may impose restrictions on their operations if they don't: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/utk-rosnie-liczba-spadow-154248.html
Well, I'm not so sure they can deliver on that threat in the passenger segment. But this is the kind of thing they're supposed to be doing and I hope some cooperation comes out of this.
A recent more widely-publicized incident in Kielce Herbskie where a Polregio train ran a red and would have collided with a PKPIC train if not for the signaller pressing the radio stop button in time was perhaps one trigger for this and is still under investigation by the companies involved: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/polregio-pomagamy-wyjasnic-przyczyny-spad-w-kielcach-154166.html

🚨 Critical flaw in train safety systems
The End-of-Train (EOT) and Head-of-Train (HOT) devices—introduced in the 1980s to replace cabooses—still lack encryption and authentication.
These devices, like the Flashing Rear End Device (FRED), rely only on simple checksums.🔎 According to CISA, attackers with a software-defined radio could spoof packets and potentially interfere with train operations.
