Avast ye scurvy dogs! The French be cryin' foul as their digital treasures be under siege by cyber scallywags of grand proportions! 'Tis a battle of wit and will, but fear not, for we shall prevail in the end! Aye, 'tis a tale for the ages!
In a tale fit for the high seas, the French government found itself under attack by cyber scallywags of "unprecedented intensity," causing chaos among the ministries. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's crew worked tirelessly to reduce the impact of the attacks and restore access to government sites by Monday afternoon.The culprits behind this digital plunder were a group of hackers known as Anonymous Sudan, believed to have ties to the pro-Russia faction. While the French officials remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the attacks, it was suggested that they were denial-of-service raids, a common tactic to overwhelm and knock a site offline.With the Paris Olympics on the horizon, the French government has been beefing up its cyber defenses to prevent future raids. These attacks are not the first of their kind, as France has fallen victim to damaging ransomware assaults in the past, including on hospitals in 2021.France pointed the finger at Russia for engaging in online manipulation against Ukraine and its Western allies, including mimicking the French Foreign Ministry website. President Emmanuel Macron, known for his stern demeanor, has taken a firm stance against Russia and its aggression towards Ukraine.
