28 January 2023 at 13:29 Russian hacker group threatens Norwegian hospitals A Russian hacker group is threatening hospitals and health institutions in Norway on Saturday, writes TV 2. The hacker group has shared an “attack list” on its Telegram account, they write. – We have unstable websites that Helsenett is working hard to fix. If you go to our website and search for information about arthritis or something else, that is the type of information that is affected, says press officer Lena Skotland at Vestre Viken health company to news. In the list, the following Norwegian hospitals are mentioned as targets: Ahus, Sykehuset Innlandet, Førde hospital, Ringerike hospital, St. Olav’s Hospital, SKien hospital, Stavanger University Hospital, Tønsberg Hospital and University Hospital in Northern Norway. Hanne Tangen Nilsen, managing director of Sykehuspartner says that they are not worried. – This is quite commonplace. We are not worried and believe that there will be no major consequences, but that there are only threats. – If they succeed in the attack, there is no risk to patient information and the internal systems of Sykehuspartner. It is the external hospital websites that can be hit. It contains public information, not sensitive information. In practice, this means that these websites become unavailable. How long they stay down depends on the power and intensity of these attacks, she says.
