Network devices in at least one Norwegian organization
February 5, 2026
•[ state-sponsored espionage, network device compromise, telecom ]
The Record reported that Norways Police Security Service (PST) disclosed that the Chinese state-sponsored espionage campaign tracked as Salt Typhoon compromised network devices in Norwegian organizations. PST made the disclosure in its 2026 annual threat assessment and said the actor exploited vulnerable network devices, consistent with a broader telecom/critical infrastructure espionage focus described by allied authorities. The article does not identify specific victim organizations or provide incident-level dates/effects for one named target, so it is best treated as campaign-level reporting rather than a single victim event record.

•[ DDoS attacks, hacktivism, security cameras ]
Italian reporting stated that pro-Russian hacktivist group NoName057(16) launched DDoS attacks connected to the digital ecosystem around the MilanCortina 2026 Winter Olympics. The reported primary effect is disruption attempts against public-facing online services linked to the event. The article also notes the group displayed content suggesting access to security cameras, but it does not provide sufficient detail to code a separate confirmed camera compromise event; the core confirmed effect described is DDoS activity against websites/services.

NationStates
February 3, 2026
•[ vulnerability, remote code execution, data leak ]
NationStates confirmed a data breach after taking its website offline to investigate a security incident. The operator stated that on January 27, 2026 a player reported a critical vulnerability, then exceeded authorized boundaries and obtained remote code execution on the main production server, allowing them to copy application code and user data. NationStates indicated the only way to restore confidence was to rebuild the server and determine what was accessed or copied, leading to site instability and downtime during response. The incident combines confirmed unauthorized access/data copying with operational disruption from the shutdown/rebuild.

February 3, 2026
•[ ransomware, cyberattack, operational disruption ]

DAF issued a public notice warning residents that the cyberattack forced the temporary suspension of the offices operations.

Portland Public Schools
February 3, 2026
•[ phishing, email compromise, unauthorized access ]
A phishing email offering a fake part-time job opportunity was sent to students after a staff email account (reported as a teacher account) was compromised. Because the message originated from an internal staff account, it bypassed normal restrictions and reached many student inboxes across the district. The district technology department removed copies of the email from the school system and issued guidance for students who submitted information to the linked form. The confirmed effect is unauthorized use of an internal account to distribute phishing content; the report does not confirm broader system compromise or data exfiltration beyond what students may have submitted to the scam.
