Norway urges preparedness for possible cyberattack disruption
DSB and NSM ask residents to plan for possible interruptions to electricity, water and communications after a raised cyber-risk assessment.
DSB links its advice to possible consequences of attacks on critical infrastructure. NSM published its high cyber-risk assessment on 27 October; Nkom explains that higher risk does not mean networks have been affected.
What changed
A 29 October public message follows NSM’s 27 October assessment; it does not change household supply durations.
Who this is for
National household preparedness
What the official guidance says
- Check how your municipality provides information during communications outages.
- Help neighbours, keep a DAB radio and charge power banks.
Dates & context
This is not confirmation of a nationwide outage or a prediction of imminent war. The existing one-week household baseline remains separate.
