Would the attack be successful is the Norwegian government used a way to protect itself against ddos like cloudflare or akamai?

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…
You don't understand Kremlin's mentality. Any even little nasty thing they can do to the West makes them giggle like Doctor Evil. "Oh, a NATO country's government infra was not protected from DDoS? Let's have fun, haha!" You are dealing with story book villains. I know, this sounds so ridiculous it's hard to believe someone can actually be like this. But then the reality check hits.
Many important services with problems. Ouch. My guess is that the root cause is misconfiguration rather than an attack.

Ed: just realized Vivicta is TietoEvery with a haircut and new shoes:
There's some interesting commentry at https://www.techtimes.com/articles/322754/20260803/norway-id... , which suggests that the widespread outage is due to a single point of failure: > ID-Porten: When One Gateway Controls Everything > At the center of the disruption is ID-porten — the national login gateway operated by Norway's Digitaliseringsdirektoratet (Digdir), the government agency responsible for public-sector…
The identity portal is administered by the department for digital services, but hosted at a commercial provider, Vivicta (formerly TietoEvery, formerly Tieto and Every - Consulting companies from Finland and Norway).
There has been also DDoS against my friend's employer ISP. He had to work a lot to mitigate. There was a random request before
The bus card ride purchase system was down today in my part of Finland. I wonder if it is related.
Ed: I'm guessing yes?

> Ukraine got rid of their nukes Russia is the official successor state of the Soviet Union, the nukes never belonged to Ukraine in the first place. It was Ukraine that first attacked LPR and DPR in 2014. It was Ukraine that forbid Russian language, culture, church, etc... to Russians living in eastern Ukraine. By the way, Odessa will return to Russia.
Answer the question. What did Russia state in the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances?
it's an instant check mate for putin bots

Let me tell you what's actually "really sad": Bucha as a response to sovereign country's attempt to join NATO. Having a hostile country as a neighbour isn't an excuse for starting a war with it.
Following this logic Mexico and Canada can both join a military alliance with China and Russia, I guess the U.S. must accept that, both are sovereign country's after all...

They aren't story book villains. I think this says a lot about your mentality.
