Norway's parliament said Tuesday it had been the target of a "Vast" cyber attack that enabled hackers to access the emails of some lawmakers.
"The parliament has recently been targetted in a vast cyber attack," the institution wrote in a statement.
The website of the Storting, the single chamber parliament, was working normally on Tuesday.
In its annual threat assessment published in February, Norway's domestic intelligence service PST warned of "Computer network operations" which they said represented a "Persistent and long-term threat to Norway".
In 2018, Norway arrested a Russian national suspected of gathering information on the parliament's internet network, but released him several weeks later due to lack of evidence.
