Increasing activity by hackers
There has been a strong increase in attacks on Norwegian computers over the past year. The National Security Authority has never before received as many complaints about IT attacks.
Both companies and private users are attacked more often, and the Norwegian Business and Industry Security Council (NSR) has asked that IT security be taken more seriously by all.
NSR director Erland Løkken in not particularly impressed by how most Norwegians protect themselves against IT security breaches.
- No one would use the same key for the home, the cottage, the car and the bike. But we use the same password for a large number of systems, and if someone has gained access to one password, it provides entry to all your files, Løken says.
