This is the best summary I could come up with:
Finland has had increased online espionage attempts from Russia since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, security services have said.
Last week, Supo said Russia was one of the most active perpetrators of intelligence operations targeting Finland, amid increased tensions after the country’s accession to Nato and the war in Ukraine.
In June, the Finnish president announced the country was expelling nine people from the Russian embassy, saying “their actions [were] contrary to the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations”.
“We assess that it’s likely that Russia will continue to use denial of service attacks [when hackers make information systems, devices and other resources inaccessible to legitimate users] towards us.”
The Swedish armed forces’ cyberdefence chief, Maj Gen Johan Pekkari, told the broadcaster SVT that the country was experiencing “increased activity in the cyber domain” and preparing to protect critical infrastructure from future cyberattacks.
Last week, Finnish investigators said they could not rule out “a state actor” being responsible for damage to an undersea gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea.
