France’s national postal and banking services faced major disruption following a suspected distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that affected key digital systems. La Poste, the country’s postal service, described the incident as a significant network issue that impacted all of its information systems, forcing the temporary suspension of several online services. The disruption affected both postal and banking operations at a national level.  As a result of the incident, La Poste’s website, mobile application, online mail services, and digital banking platforms were taken offline. While online access was unavailable, the company stated that customers could still carry out postal and banking transactions in person at physical locations. The outage caused inconvenience for users who rely on digital services for routine tasks such as checking account balances, paying bills, or managing mail.  La Banque Postale, the banking subsidiary of La Poste, also confirmed the cyber incident. The bank reported that the attack temporarily prevented customers from accessing its mobile banking app and online banking services. Both La Poste and La Banque Postale said technical teams were actively working to restore services, although no clear timeline for full recovery was provided.   A Russian hacktivist group claimed responsibility for the attack, but French authorities have not confirmed who was behind it. Officials have not publicly attributed the incident to any specific group and continue to investigate the source and method of the attack. This uncertainty highlights the broader challenge of identifying and verifying perpetrators behind DDoS attacks, which are often difficult to trace due to their distributed nature.  The disruption at La Poste comes amid a wider series of cybersecurity concerns in France. In recent weeks, the French government has dealt with multiple digital security incidents, including the discovery of remotely controllable software reportedly planted on a passenger ferry. These events have raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure and essential public services.  In a separate incident, the French Interior Ministry disclosed a data breach involving unauthorized access to email accounts and the theft of sensitive documents, including criminal records. Authorities later announced the arrest of a 22-year-old suspect in connection with that breach, though no name was released. It remains unclear whether the attack on La Poste is linked to this or other recent cybersecurity incidents. French officials have not indicated whether the recent attacks share common origins or motives.  However, the growing number of incidents has increased scrutiny of national cybersecurity defenses and intensified concerns about the rising frequency and impact of cyberattacks on vital public services.
