The Norwegian parliament, known as Storting, is located in Oslo.
The Norwegian parliament s investigation into the hacking of email accounts of some elected officials and government employees in August has concluded that a Russia-linked advanced persistent threat group is likely responsible, according to a report issued this week. The investigation shows that it s likely that the operation was carried out by the cyber actor referred to APT28, or Fancy Bear, Norwegian Police Attorney Anne Karoline Bakken Staff noted in a statement this week issued by the country s parliament.
Analysts and security researchers have previously linked APT28 to Russia s Main Intelligence Directorate, commonly referred to as the GRU, which serves as the military intelligence division of Russia s armed forces.
