The national parliament of Norway, the Storting, has come forward as another victim of cyber attacks arising from a series of dangerous ProxyLogon vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server that affect more than 100,000 organisations worldwide and are being actively exploited by malicious actors.
In a statement, the Storting said it did not yet know the full extent of the attack, but had established that some data had been exfiltrated. It is currently working on additional security measures and has initiated a full investigation alongside law enforcement.
