Police in Finland are investigating a series of distributed denial-of-service attacks against the country’s OP Pohjola financial services group that shut down online banking and direct debit services. Law enforcement officials say the attacks have been launched via malware-infected “zombie” PCs – or bots – located both in Finland and abroad. A group that calls itself CoreSec has taken responsibility for the DDoS attacks, but it’s not clear if the group was involved in the attack. The group demanded 100 bitcoins to call off its attack, which would have been worth about $35,000.”]
