The pages of NSM are up again now, but SSB still has some problems. Subject director Andreas Skjøld-Lorange in NSM did not want to say too much about the data attack to news on Tuesday morning, but gave the following statement by e-mail: – The websites of the National Security Authority (NSM) have been taken down on Tuesday morning due to an ongoing denial of service attack against several businesses. As NSM has previously pointed out, we must expect more such data attacks. – This type of attack is often about attention rather than causing damage, he said. Unstable pages On Tuesday morning, it was reported that the pages of NSM and SSB were up again. However, communications adviser Nina Tuv at Statistics Norway (SSB) said on Tuesday morning that they had had problems. Statistics Norway has published statistics as usual on Tuesday, but the pages are marked with the fact that there are technical problems in Statistikbanken and parts of ssb.no. – There is no danger of information going astray, it’s just that the website will be slow, says communications advisor Nina Tuv to news. Several websites hit recently It is only 12 days since the websites of several Norwegian companies and enterprises were hit by a computer attack. This applied, among other things, to the websites of SSB and NSM. Last time, NSM stated that they are familiar with who claims to be behind the attack, but that they do not want to contribute to giving them attention.
