A cyberattack has disrupted France's national postal service and its banking arm, affecting package deliveries and online payments ahead of the Christmas rush.
France's national postal service, La Poste, and its banking arm La Banque Postale have been hit by a suspected cyberattack, which rendered their online services inaccessible. This disruption has hindered package deliveries and stalled online payments, causing significant inconvenience to customers during the crucial Christmas period. The postal service stated that the incident, which it described as a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, had no impact on customer data, but it has nevertheless caused a major outage in their systems. The incident has attracted attention as it highlights the vulnerabilities of essential services to cyber threats, particularly during high-demand periods.
