Norway: Hackers Steal Energy and Defense Secrets

By The Associated Press, November 17, 2011, The NY Times


Norway has been a target of hacking for a while now. The Norwegian National Security Authority said that the hacker had stolen information about the oil, energy, and defense industries. All of this information has been spread online. The NNSA said that this has happened before with at least 10 attacks in just the past year. Unfortunately the real number of hackers could be higher, just not reported.
This is newsworthy because it shows how hacking is something that is an international problem. I never realized that hacking could be so bad and how an entire county's national security could be at stake.

More Hacking in Norway
