Finnish supermarkets have been hit by a cyberattack, reportedly causing millions of euros in damages across various retail chains. The incident has prompted differing responses from the affected companies as the country assesses the extent of the disruption.
In other news, the Ministry of Transport and Communications has put forward proposals for congestion charges in the Tampere region and Helsinki, with estimates suggesting Helsinki alone could generate 100 million euros annually from motorists. Separately, two major fires have been reported, one destroying a business and another in Tuusula, while an investigation is underway at a daycare after a toddler disappeared in a forest.
Further domestic concerns include reports of a notorious motorcycle gang establishing a presence in Finland and a state construction site in Helsinki allegedly using underpaid 'fake workers'. Economists have also proposed cuts to pensions, and a major landlord in the Pirkanmaa region is reportedly facing bankruptcy.
