“Several French state bodies have been hit with cyberattacks of “unprecedented intensity”, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s office said Monday, March 11, while insisting the government had been able to contain the impact.” reported the French newspaper Le Monde. “Many ministerial services were targeted” from Sunday “using familiar technical means but of unprecedented intensity,” Attal’s office said, without providing further details of the targets.”
A security source informed Agence France-Presse that government experts cannot attribute the attacks to Russia.
