Fredag ble det klart at Extend AS hadde vært utsatt for et dataangrep med løsepengevirus. Hias, som bruker Extend som leverandør, opplyser tirsdag kveld at de er rammet av dataangrepet. Informasjon de har lagret kan være på avveier. Hias er et interkommunalt vann- og avløpsselskap, eid av Hamar, Løten, Ringsaker og Stange kommuner. – Det at vi skal levere godt og sikkert vann, er noe av det viktigste vi gjør. At kvaliteten til enhver tid er god. Når du da har innsyn i våre driftsrutiner, så har du da også potensielt informasjon som gjør at du kan skade oss i ettertid, sier Knut Holen, administrerende direktør i Hias IKS.

Ein mann flaug drone innanfor forbodssona ved Bergen lufthavn tysdag kveld. – Det var tett på flyplassen. Vi kom i kontakt med droneføraren ved Flesland kai, seier operasjonsleiar Dan Erik Johannessen til NRK. Ifølge Avinor vart avgangar halde igjen i rundt 10 minutt, mens landingar gjekk som normalt. Droneoperatøren var ein mann i 30-åra. Han er turist, ifølge politiet. Han har forklart at han ikkje fikk beskjed om forbodssona i ein app som vanlegvis varslar om dette. Johannessen seier dei undersøkjer om han hadde uvennlege intensjonar med droneflyginga. – Men det er ingenting som tilseier noko sånt i dette tilfellet. Pressevakt Helene W. Jensen i Avinor seier det var éin avgang som vart utsett.

Digitaliseringsdirektør Kjetil Århus i Bergen kommune sier at kommunen vil fortsette å bruke Extend AS, som ble utsatt for et dataangrep i forrige uke. I dataangrepet kom personopplysninger om ansatte i Bergen kommune på avveie. – Det er ikke aktuelt å si opp avtalen i etterkant. De har gjort en rekke tiltak og betrygget oss, sier han til NRK. Bergen kommune er én av fire kommuner i Norge som bruker leverandøren. De tilbyr et system som brukes til å samle dokumenter og utarbeide prosedyrer. Risikovurderinger og rutiner er blant det som er stjålet. Århus vet ennå ikke omfanget av dataangrepet. – Vi vet ikke om det er «farlig» at noe er lekket. Det er vi vurderer nå, sier han.

Debate on how to generate energy ‘important but misses the point’, analyst says, when you can get such savings by using solar, batteries and efficient appliances Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The debate over where Australia gets its energy from has played out like a “comic-book death battle between coal and renewables” in recent years, according to Luke Menzel, the chief executive officer of the Energy Efficiency Council. Discussions over coal versus renewables, the role of gas and the speed of infrastructure rollout to bring renewables online had been “important”, Menzel said. “But there’s a whole other conversation we need to be having. And that’s about how we are using energy.” Continue reading...

Nasjonal kommunikasjonsmyndighet (Nkom) har gjennomført en omfattende kunnskapsinnhenting om samfunnets avhengighet av 2G-nettet i forkant av den varslede slukkingen. Resultatene viser at det nå er forsvarlig å starte en kontrollert og trinnvis utfasing av teknologien. – Vi har fått et godt kunnskapsgrunnlag, som viser at det er forsvarlig å starte utfasingen av 2G-nettet. Ved å starte nå, med god planlegging og tett samarbeid med aktørene, sikrer vi at overgangen fra 2G skjer på en trygg og forutsigbar måte – uten å sette liv og helse i fare, sier digitaliserings- og forvaltningsminister Karianne Tung. Det betyr at blant annet at SOS-knappen i biler, såkalt eCall-nødsystem, heisalarmer, trygghetsalarmer og garasjeporter i noen fellesanlegg ikke lenger vil virke. Telia slukker sitt nett i august, ICE har allerede slukket det og Telenor slukker 2G-nettet i 2027.
