That's a point of honor. Public institutions in most countries are hacked because they still run servers with windows xp last updated in 1998

What surprises me is that if there is a zero-day flaw in a system used by the Norwegian government, why haven't other entities been hacked? Is the system in question some system only used by the Norwegian government?
