La Poste Cyberattack Eases as Services Stabilize Before Christmas

A cybercrime investigation is under way, with officials reporting no evidence of customer data theft.

Overview

  • La Poste says the distributed‑denial‑of‑service campaign remains active but has weakened, with laposte.fr still unstable and parcel tracking largely unavailable.
  • Deliveries are proceeding nationwide with reported delays, and the operator indicates Christmas packages should still arrive on time.
  • La Banque Postale’s online activity has resumed normally, while card payments, SMS authentication and ATM withdrawals continued to function.
  • Paris prosecutors opened a case for obstruction of an automated data system and assigned it to specialized cyber units including the UNC and DGSI, and no breach of personal data has been found.
  • The pro‑Russian group NoName057(16) claimed responsibility, though attribution remains unconfirmed, and BPCE’s separate Monday outage was brief and resolved.
