different amounts of data have been
downloaded. Those directly affected have
been contacted, and in the following days
the parliament's administration will follow
up.
The Storting, Norway's parliament, has been
subject to a massive cyberattack resulting in
the hacking of the email accounts of several
parliamentary representatives and
employees, the head of the legislative body
said in a statement on Tuesday.
"We take the matter very
seriously, and we have the full
attention of analysing the
situation to get an overall
picture of the incident and the
potential extent of damage",
Marianne Andreassen, the
head of the parliament, said in
a press release.
Andreassen added that a series of
immediate risk-reducing measures were
successfully implemented to stop the attack.
She further stated that the Storting
administration has close contact with
relevant security authorities, and decided on
Tuesday to report the matter to the police.
