In his presentation, Knut Jostein Sætnan from Kripos will give some general insights into the nature of ransomware attacks, how Kripos is investigating these attacks, and some of the results and key learnings after investigating the Norsk Hydro incident in 2019.
CS20: Lessons from the ransomware attack on Norsk Hydro
In 2019 a ransomware attack by a foreign hacker group shut down several key business areas of Norsk Hydro. The attack has since been estimated to have cost the company 800 million NOK, even though they never paid any ransom to the cyber criminals.
