  • Would the attack be successful is the Norwegian government used a way to protect itself against ddos like cloudflare or akamai?

  • The bus card ride purchase system was down today in my part of Finland. I wonder if it is related.

  • There has been also DDoS against my friend's employer ISP. He had to work a lot to mitigate. There was a random request before

    > ID-Porten: When One Gateway Controls Everything

    > At the center of the disruption is ID-porten — the national login gateway operated by Norway's Digitaliseringsdirektoratet (Digdir), the government agency responsible for public-sector digitalization. ID-porten functions as the single sign-on portal through which Norwegian citizens authenticate themselves to access public digital services.

    It seems to be a corporate service provider that's a dependency for many other services.
