Pro-Russian hackers claim responsibility for attacks on cooling systems in Europe
Published
In recent days, cooling systems in several European countries have been subjected to hacker attacks. According to the Italian TV channel Rai, two pro-Russian hacker groups are claiming responsibility for the attacks.
Cooling systems are used in many places in society, for example in food storage, shops and data centres. An attack on such systems can therefore have consequences for both businesses and ordinary people. How large the damage is, is not yet clear.
The sources available do not state which countries have been affected, nor how many systems are involved. It is also uncertain how the attackers gained access to the systems. The information is currently limited, and more details may come later.
The case shows that digital security is also important for critical infrastructure. Authorities and companies in Europe are following the situation, and readers in Norway should stay updated to learn more when new information becomes available.
