FRENCH POSTAL SERVICE BROUGHT DOWN BY CYBER ATTACK

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

France's postal service, La Poste, suffered a widespread DDoS attack that disabled all IT systems for over twelve hours, affecting the website, mobile app, Digiposte digital document service, and digital ID services. The attack also disrupted La Poste's banking subsidiary Banque Postale's online services, though over-the-counter operations and payment processing remained functional. The timing raised concerns about potential Christmas delivery disruptions, with no timeline provided for service restoration.
