Norway blames Russia-linked hackers for cyberattack targeting spy agency, ministries

Norwegian intelligence revealed on Friday that the country’s foreign ministry, defence ministry and other institutions have been targeted by hackers believed to have ties with Russian authorities.

The group suspected to be behind the cyberattack – APT 29, also known as Cozy Bear – has been previously been linked to the attack on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) during the US presidential election campaign last year.
