The websites of the Finnish parliament and the country's prime minister, Sanna Marin, were subjected to a DoS attack by a pro-Russian hacker group on Tuesday.
Yle writes about it.
Russian hacker group NoName 057 (16) reported on Telegram on Tuesday that Finland has been the target of a series of cyberattacks due to joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
"Finland has officially become the 31st member of NATO... We are 'leading' Finland to NATO with a series of cyberattacks," the hackers said.
A Russian hacking group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on the website of the Finnish parliament, and also announced that it managed to disable the website of the state research center VTT. A little later, the website of Prime Minister Sanna Marin became the target of hackers.
IT experts at the Finnish Parliament and Cyber Security Center said they are taking measures to prevent cyber attacks.
NoName 057(16) attacked Finland's parliament in August 2022, Yle recalls.
As you know, on Tuesday Finland officially became the 31st full member of the North Atlantic Alliance.
