The website of the Norwegian Parliament is down. Russian hackers claim responsibility, reports VG. A overview on the website Isitdownrightnow shows that the Parliament is down. The last few weeks have seen several Norwegian websites attacked, many of them so-called denial-of-service attacks. A Russian hacker group has claimed responsibility for several of these. It is not yet known whether a denial-of-service attack is the reason why the Parliament's website is not functioning. If it is a denial-of-service attack, it may be that some users can still access it despite the problems.
This is what the Norwegian Parliament's website looked like when VG tried to open it today.
