OSLO, July 24 (Reuters) - Twelve Norwegian government ministries have been hit by a cyber attack, the Norwegian government said on Monday, the latest attack to hit the public sector of Europe's largest gas supplier and NATO's northernmost member.

"We identified a weakness in the platform of one of our suppliers. That weakness has now been shut," Erik Hope, head of the government agency in charge of providing services to ministries, told a news conference.

The attack was identified due to "unusual" traffic on the supplier's platform, Hope said, declining to provide specifics. It was uncovered on July 12 and was being investigated by police.

"It is too early to say who is back this and what is the extent of the impact (of the attack)," he said.

Well, I guess there is a compromise to be found between aggregating content from different instances, and consuming a tremendous amount of resources on the server to do so.

As an example, it seems reasonable to me for someone to aggregate content from other security/IT instances here, but not let's say gardening or language learning.

And about the number of accounts, I have one for infosec, and a few others, each for every interest I have

You have to search them first.

As a side comment, I'm not sure this instance should be federated with fitness communities, as it doesn't seem really related to the domain of infosec

Historical decisions seem to be the most common reasons

I see you also like Absolute Appsec.

I just started a more specialized AppSec list here: https://infosec.pub/post/318834, can I link you comment there?

Nix has been on my radar for a while too. The approach is takes to reproducibility looks very interesting

I'm also going to post it as much as I can. I love the idea of having a lemmy instance dedicated to infosec, we just need a few more people on board.
