Hacking Parliament's website

On August 9, 2022, it became known about the hacking of the website of the Finnish parliament. The responsibility for this was assumed by the Russian cyber group NoName057.

We decided to pay a "friendly" visit to neighboring Finland, whose authorities are so eager for NATO, and dropped the internal authorization service on the website of the parliament of this country, the NoName057 's Telegram channel says.

Apparently, this is a Russian cyber group - or so they write in the Russian and Western media. In addition, messages in the Telegram channel are NoName057 published in Russian. Hackers are NoName057 behind cyber attacks on government agencies in Poland, Lithuania and Norway, according to the Finnish public broadcasting corporation YLE. The Norwegian National Security Directorate, which is responsible for countering cyber threats, then argued that "Russian hackers" were involved in the incident.

Finnish parliament website was unavailable on Tuesday afternoon

When trying to go to the website of the Finnish parliament, a notification appeared that the IP address of the service could not be found. The government of the country confirmed the fact of hacking.

The denial of service attack is directed against the external resources of parliament. The attack began on Tuesday, August 9, at about 14:30. Parliament is taking steps to limit the attack along with service providers and the Cyber Security Centre, the Finnish parliament said in a statement.

By 16:00 Moscow time on August 10, 2022, the website of the Finnish parliament was working, as the TAdviser journalist was convinced of. According to YLE, the resource was restored to work at 22:00 on August 9.

Sauli Pakhlman, Deputy Director General of the National Cybersecurity Center of Finland, stressed that there was precisely a DDoS attack, in which confidential data was not necessarily leaked. The cyber group NoName057 had previously carried out such attacks, the center took countermeasures, Pakhlman said.^[1]
