The 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?
The UK. It wants to steal Norway's vast stores of electricity.

Maybe you should stop invading other countries if these comparisons hurt your feelings buddy.

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?
That is much less effective than every other manner they tested on the past few years such as shadow fleets, ghost satellites etc. Up to the moment it has not been the operation adopted which would make it weird. On who would do it then, anyone who benefits from instability. From corporations trying to sell flocked uped sytems, politicians, etc. There is one south american country who was attacked exactly this way be…

"vast stores of electricity"?
When it rains dams fill up. The water is drained into shafts with turbines, and electricity is generated.
However, even though we are big on hydroelectricity percentage wise I’m not sure it’s all that vast an amount of electricity on a global scale. We are a pretty small country after all.
According to Wikipedia, the Norwegian electricity sector had 40.26 GW installed capacity as of 2021 and was producing 157.113 TWh in the same year. [1]
Great Britain had 74.8 GW installed capacity in 2023 and was producing 292.7 TWh in 2023. [2]
France was producing 537.7 TWh in 2020. [3]
Germany was producing 488.5 TWh in 2024. [4]

I always find it unbelievable how people do not know or just forget about what happened in the east 85 years ago. Really sad. This is one of the primary reasons why people in the west don't understand why Russia cannot accept Ukraine in NATO. It was NATO that expanded to the east, contrary to the agreements after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia said for decades that Ukraine in NATO is unacceptable.
Since you’re such a history buff, what did Russia promise when Ukraine got rid of their nukes?

Russia got attacked by their ally, Nazi Germany. After 87 years ago in 1939 they invaded together Poland.
> Really sad.
Yeah, Russia going on to win WW II was quite sad. Admittedly better than Nazis winning but pity they have not both lost.
> contrary to the agreements after the fall of the Soviet Union
which supposed agreements? Were they any more binding than Budapest Memorandum?
> Russia said for decades that Ukraine in NATO is unacceptable.
And Russia in Ukraine is unacceptable for us.
