Ahead of Paris Olympics, French state bodies targeted by ‘unprecedented’ cyberattacks
Several French government institutions have been hit by cyberattacks of "unprecedented intensity" ahead of the Paris Olympics. | Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's office said in a statement that several state bodies were targeted, without elaborating. According to the statement, the cyberattacks have been "contained." The PM's staff said a "crisis cell has been activated to deploy countermeasures", meaning "the impact of these attacks has been reduced for most services and access to state websites restored." Specialist services, including information security agency ANSSI, were "implementing filtering measures until the attacks are over."
