Norway's aid agency pwned and all users' data is stolen
Norad said it cannot be sure that the details of those in 'conflict areas and authoritarian states' are safe or not
Norway's national aid agency, Norad, disclosed that hackers infiltrated its systems, stealing personal data of all 20,614 registered users of its grant portal. The theft also compromised information from at least three organizations' applications, some of which have been misdirected. Norad, a part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed the attack on October 30 but has not disclosed details about the attackers' intentions or the duration of their access.
The agency has initiated a crisis team and is consulting external cybersecurity experts to assess the extent of the breach.
