The numbers of ministers and heads of services have leaked. A serious incident in Norway

Sensitive data of several Norwegian officials, including Defense Minister Tore O. Sandvik and military intelligence chief Lars Lervik, has been leaked. Italian cybersecurity expert Andrea Mavilla alerted Norwegian authorities after discovering the information on the dark web and Russian platforms. The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) and military intelligence declined to comment. Paul Buvarp from the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment described the incident as a threat, reminiscent of tactics used by Russia to intimidate officials. Similar issues have arisen in Italy, where Minister Antonio Tajani reported his private data being shared online.
