DDoS incident disrupts France’s postal and banking services ahead of Christmas

France’s national postal service La Poste experienced a suspected DDoS attack that knocked key digital systems offline days before Christmas, slowing parcel deliveries and affecting La Banque Postale’s online banking and mobile app; the company reported no evidence of customer data compromise while some post offices operated at reduced capacity. The report also references a separate, recently disclosed email/data breach at France’s Interior Ministry.
