Sweden under cyberattack: Prime minister sounds the alarm

Posted on June 12, 2025 by Dissent

Charles Szumski reports:

Sweden is under attack, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Wednesday, following three days of disruptions targeting public broadcaster SVT and other key institutions.

“We are exposed to enormous cyberattacks. Those on SVT have now been recognised, but banks and Bank-id have also been affected,” Kristersson told journalists in parliament.

The attacks have been identified as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) events and disrupted services, raising concerns about the resilience of Sweden’s digital infrastructure.

While Kristersson did not name a specific perpetrator, he referred to earlier reports by the Swedish Security Service, which has identified Russia, China, and Iran as frequent actors behind such cyber operations.
