⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - Massive Cyberattack on French Infrastructure

Just three days before Christmas, a cyberattack knocked France’s national postal service La Poste offline, disrupting package deliveries and online payments at the peak of the holiday rush.

La Poste said a DDoS attack rendered its online services inaccessible.

The attack also hit La Banque Postale. Customers were unable to approve payments or access key banking services via the app, forcing the bank to reroute payment approvals to SMS.

The disruption comes just one week after France’s Interior Ministry suffered a separate cyberattack that exposed sensitive police and wanted-persons data.

French officials say the incidents fit a broader pattern of “hybrid warfare” targeting France and other European allies of Ukraine, involving cyberattacks, sabotage, disinformation, and covert operations that are difficult to directly attribute.
