The same hackers are said to be behind cyber attacks in Poland, Lithuania and Norway.
THE website of the Finnish Parliament received a cyber attack today, which is attributed to hackers from Russia. Administrators reported a “distributed denial of service attack” (DDoS), which led to hours-long outages.
Cyber security experts have taken it upon themselves to restore the website and protect it against similar threats in the future.
Russian hackers are behind the attack, according to Finland’s Yle TV, citing a Telegram group NoName057(16) message about a decision to make a “friendly visit” to neighboring Finland, which is eager to join NATO. The same hackers are said to be behind cyber attacks in Poland, Lithuania and Norway.
Last May, Finland’s parliament voted to join NATO, ending decades of neutrality in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Finnish-Russian land border stretches for about 1,340 kilometers and relations between the two countries have been particularly strained recently.
