Norwegian intelligence agency reveals use of infrastructure for cyberattacks on Ukraine

The Norwegian foreign intelligence agency E-tjenesten reported that an entity acting for a foreign country used Norwegian infrastructure to conduct cyberattacks on targets outside the country, including the Ukrainian authorities. The deputy chief of the service, Lars Nordrum, described Norway as an "in-between country" in order to make it difficult to link the attack to its real originator. The detection was made possible by the TI system that monitors traffic crossing the country's borders. In August, Norway fell victim to a series of cyberattacks disrupting public services, and the pro-Russian group Server Killers declared a "cyber war" against Norway after signing the Oslo-Kiev defense agreement, claiming responsibility for the attack on parliament servers.
