France Contends with Major Cyberattacks on Government Services

Anonymous Sudan claims responsibility amid heightened security measures and geopolitical tensions.

Several French state bodies were targeted by cyberattacks of 'unprecedented intensity' starting Sunday, with the government managing to contain the impact.
Anonymous Sudan claimed responsibility for the attacks, which affected various digital government sectors, including important websites and their subdomains.
The attacks, not currently attributable to Russia, come amid heightened tensions due to France's support for Ukraine.
Specialist services, including information security agency ANSSI, have implemented filtering measures to mitigate the attacks.
The cyberattacks follow warnings that the Paris Olympics and European Parliament elections this summer could be significant targets.
