Why do you think Portugal has been ciberattacked so much this week?

Vodafone, which has 4 million users, excluding the institutional and companies, was down for hours and days. That affected EMTs, firefighters, you name it.
Germano de Sousa, a medical analysys lab, was also attacked.
There have been others, but I'll cut off here and leave anything else for an update.
(This is my first question in a year -long story- so go easy on me, OK?)

Probably practice for eventually targeting a larger country.

That was one of my original thoughts as well...

Thanks for Most Superb. 👍

Portugal has a lot more respect for private investors' investments than most western countries. So the crooks that run those countries, realizing they can't get the countries to tax it out of your pocket and into theirs, have turned to hiring hackers to rob you outright.

I had no idea that this had happened.
