Cyberattack on Norway’s aid agency may have swept up all user data

A cyberattack on Norway's Norad (Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation) has exposed the names and email addresses of 20,614 users registered on its Grants Portal. The portal is used by Norad and Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to collect funding applications for international development aid projects.

Why it matters: Aid organizations, development project applicants, and government entities using the portal face identity theft and phishing risk; practitioners should verify whether their organization's credentials or projects were on this system and monitor for credential-based attacks.
