The telecommunications company Telia is forced to pay a penalty fee of SEK 15 million after failing to conduct security checks on employees, writes the Post and Telecommunications Authority (PTS) in a press release.
There it is written that Telia failed to apply for the correct register checks for signal protection personnel.
PTS describes the incident as serious as a number of unauthorized persons have been allowed to work with safety-sensitive operations.
“The vulnerability that arose as a result of the breach may have been exploited by an antagonist through a so-called insider attack with the aim of affecting security-sensitive operations in, among other things, the area of electronic communications. Such an impact would, according to PTS, cause damage to Sweden’s security,” the authority writes in its decision.
Telia tells TT that they plan to appeal the decision on fines.
SVT on stopped publication: “Very worrying”
Due to a new espionage law, SVT has for the first time chosen to stop a publication.

The images originally come from the leaked documents from the Pentagon.
Now SVT’s responsible publisher Charlotta Friberg comments on the decision:
– After looking at that material together with the lawyers, their assessment was actually that this is material that could be covered by the new espionage law, she says to SVT.
– I think it is very worrying that the legislators did not listen to this serious criticism.

Hello! That’s right! The armed forces have their biggest exercise, Aurora 23, and in several parts of the country they are visible in different ways now.
Is it a vacuum cleaner or a lawn mower that the police are looking for in Huskvarna? 😂

Dinghy
Hi Jolle! Change the channel and scroll on is my advice to you. I imagine that viewing figures show that there is a decent interest in them anyway and that they strike a chord with many.
Regarding spies, how many do we have in Europe, all countries have spies, I think it is foolish to say that you and those countries have so and so many spies, then all countries have them.
Ferko Tan Mercovich
Hi Tan! Don’t understand the criticism. Shouldn’t we report on what it looks like in our area because it exists in all countries? Sounds a bit strange I think.
Is it some Russian hacker attack that knocked out Forsmark?
