Sweden has asked its cyber agency to bolster security measures ahead of a general election next year, warning for what it called a “serious security situation.”
Cyberattacks against Sweden are on the rise, the country’s defense ministry said Friday. “Threats in the cyber domain are increasing and Sweden is far from spared,” Civil Defense Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin said.
Sweden is holding a general election on Sept. 13 next year. Given the increase in attacks, the government has told the agency to assess the threats to Sweden, propose defenses and plan cyber exercises, it said.
