Cyberattack Affects Platform used by 12 Government Ministries in Norway
INCIDENT
The Norwegian government is warning that its ICT platform used by 12 ministries has suffered a cyberattack after hackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in third-party software.
This platform is used by twelve ministries in the country, except for the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The hackers might have accessed and/or exfiltrated sensitive data from the ICT system, leading to a data breach.
Despite the compromised platform's critical role in the government's daily operations, the recent cyberattack will not necessitate a halt in work activities.
