#5The actual interesting part about such an attack is not that something is down, but rather why someone would run it.
A lot of DDoS originates from script kiddies, but such attacks are usually very short lived as attacks are expensive.
So which actor would actually benefit from downing the Norwegian government?

What do they benefit from taking down any government, NGO or civic work program? American systems, as well as larger European systems are constantly attacked. I've seen the same traffic. Fire walling off China, North Korea and smaller eastern European countries is a must if you ever plan to expose any internet exposed services.

Really, you have no one in mind? Someone who is sending hundreds of bombing drones daily to Ukraine, killing civilian population, women and children, and who is eager to send a message to NATO countries any way possible?
