Norway banks hit in largest-ever DDoS attack, Anonymous takes credit

Norway's top financial institutions have been hit in what appears to be a coordinated cyber-attack, the biggest-ever the country has experienced. Anonymous Norway claimed responsibility for the operation.

The Tuesday attack targeted at least eight top Norway companies, including central Norges Bank, Sparebank 1, Danske Bank and insurance companies Storebrand and Gjensidige. Three Norwegian airlines and a big telecommunication company may also have been affected by the same attack.

Norway is a socialist country. Everybody that lives there is quite happy with their system. Sounds more like a capitalist attack on Norway and trying to lay blame on anonymous.........

Nativism is on the rise, and the new Conservative government has stated that it wants to simultaneously cut spending on social welfare, and start gambling with its considerable sovereign wealth fund.

"a capitalist attack on Norway and trying to lay blame on anonymous", certainly wouldn't surprise me though.
