  1. Finland’s ministry of Defense and State Department websites crashed – denial of service attack underway.

    The websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense are currently out of order. You can access the ministries’ websites either at all or only occasionally.

    Kristian Vakkuri, Communications Manager at the Ministry of Defense, confirms that this is a denial-of-service attack.

    [The State Department also tweeted about this.](https://mobile.twitter.com/DefenceFinland/status/1512365938217205760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1512365938217205760%7Ctwgr%5Ehb_1_10%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fyle.fi%2Fuutiset%2F3-12043017%2F64-3-68418)

  4. Russia really needs to understand that these types of threats and attacks don’t work against Finland. This is more likely to strengthen Finland’s conviction that NATO is the right path rather than act as a deterrent.

  5. I’m sure it was a complete coincidence that Zelenskyi was giving a speech to the Finnish parliament while this happened.

  6. Lol, from the feared ‘second army in the world’ to script-kiddie level vandalism in just a month.

  7. Oh no, I had planned to spend my day on Finland DoD public website. What am I gonna do now…

  11. Austria is being more and more surrounded by NATO so it may conduct a special military operation. This must be them.

  13. Cyber wars are rather common. On the day when the invasion happened I missed the live so I went to kremlin.ru to try to find the transcript of Putin’s speech; at that time the site was already under DDoS and inaccessible
