France’s postal and banking services disrupted by suspected DDoS attack

A suspected DDoS attack caused widespread outages for La Poste and La Banque Postale’s online and mobile services, forcing customers to use in-person channels; the attacker attribution is unclear despite claims by a Russian hacktivist group. The report also notes concurrent French incidents — remote-control malware found on a passenger ferry and an Interior Ministry email breach — but states links between incidents are not established.
