The hacker group Anonymous Sudan claims to have directed more cyber attacks against Sweden, Expressen reports.

Several sites have problems or are down on Sunday morning, including Vattenfall, Kivra, E-identification and Klarna, the newspaper writes.

On Twitter, the group writes that overload attacks should be directed against, among others, Bank-id, E-identification, Vattenfall, Kivra, SOS Alarm, Klarna, SJ, SL, the Tax Agency, and Avanza during Sunday.

Swedish regions, hospitals, media and universities have recently been subject to overload attacks. The cyber attacks are rumored to be due to the Koran burnings and the finger is pointed at Russia as the puppet master behind the scenes.

Anonymous Sudan is, judging by the name, a group with connections to the hacker and activist movement Anonymous which has attacked the “establishment” for about 20 years.
