Posted on December 12, 2014 by Dissent

The Local reports:

Swedish internet giant Telia was the victim of another hacking attack on Thursday night – the second in a week – with a hacking group apparently claiming responsibility.

“It started just after 1 o’clock and seems to be the same kind of attack as before,” Henrik Johansson of Telia told the TT news agency, explaining that customers would have found it hard to access the internet.

Late on Thursday, a well known hacking collective called Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for the attacks.
