France faced a wave of cyberattacks described as ‘unprecedented intensity,’ targeting several state bodies, according to a statement from Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s office on 11 March. The attacks, utilising familiar technical means, impacted numerous ministerial services.
While details about the specific targets were not provided, the government asserted that it successfully contained the impact. The attacks were not immediately attributed to Russia, a common suspect due to France’s support for Kyiv following the invasion of Ukraine.
