Norway's domestic spy agency on Tuesday blamed a Russian hacker group linked to Moscow's military intelligence for a cyberattack on the Norwegian parliament earlier this year.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Soreide later accused Russia of being behind the attack, and PST investigators have now strengthened her claims.
Russia's embassy in Norway has yet to comment on the PST findings, but in October it lambasted Eriksen Soreide's accusation as "Unacceptable".
While relations are generally good between NATO member Norway and Russia, who share a border in the Far North, several espionage cases on both sides have soured relations in recent years.
Norway's intelligence agency regularly singles out Russia as one of the country's main espionage threats alongside Iran and China.
