Norwegian telecom company Telenor has been exposed to industrial espionage for the past three years, NRK reports.
Telenor filed a criminal police case in March for unlawful computer intrusion, and the Norwegian security analyst Norman Shark has uncovered a previously unknown and sophisticated infrastructure for targeted attacks.
Norman Shark's rfeport details a sophisticated cyberattack infrastructure that appears to originate from India, conducted by private threat actors with no evidence of state-sponsorship.
It has likely been in operation for over three years, primarily as a platform for surveillance against targets of national security interest that are mostly based in Pakistan and possibly in the United States.
It is also used for industrial espionage against the Norwegian telecom corporation Telenor and other civilian corporations, the report states.
