Pro-Russian group claims credit for biggest-ever hack on Norway government services after $9.2 billion pledge to Ukraine | Fortune

A pro-Russian hacking group claimed responsibility for a denial-of-service cyberattack that has disrupted several Norwegian government digital services for the past three days. Are Kvistad, spokesperson for the Norwegian Digitalization Agency (Digdir), told the Associated Press that the attack began Monday and is the biggest Digdir assault on its solutions they have ever experienced. The traffic-flooding tactics aimed to block services, including a system that lets citizens use one login across multiple public services. Digdir said it kept services running “practically all the time.” On Telegram, Server Killers announced cyber war on Norway after Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre pledged 85 billion Norwegian crowns (about $9.2 billion) to Ukraine from next year’s budget, for a third consecutive year.
