Details: The hackers stated that they launched cyberattacks against Norway because the country signed a strategic partnership agreement with Ukraine and announced the continuation of financial support for 2027.

The TV channel suggests that by cyberattacks, the hackers are likely referring to a budget information leak that occurred on 23 August.
In addition, Norway’s Digitalisation Agency has been under a major cyberattack for three days running, which has caused disruptions to dozens of government services.
Server Killers describe themselves as a pro-Russian hacker group that has been active since 2023. Earlier in August, the group claimed responsibility for several similar cyberattacks, including on a number of Romanian and Canadian websites.
The group’s Telegram channel contains several references to the far more well-known hacker group NoName057(16). According to cybersecurity firm Zerofox, these two hacker groups were behind coordinated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on Spanish government websites last winter.
Background:
The EU acknowledged for the first time that foreign governments had attempted to hack the messenger accounts of senior European Union officials.
The Telegraph previously reported that hackers linked to the Iranian regime had shut down a power plant in the United Kingdom for four days last month as a result of a cyberattack.
