La Poste Restores Online Services After Pre-Christmas Cyberattack as Deliveries Largely Continue

The postal operator reports no evidence of sensitive-data theft.

Overview

  • La Poste says online tracking, call centers and banking services were restored Wednesday afternoon after a short-lived DDoS‑style attack.
  • Operations continued through the week with 5.5 million parcels delivered since Monday, including 2 million on December 24.
  • The company reports no indication that sensitive data were stolen.
  • A formal complaint has been filed and the Paris prosecutor has opened an investigation for obstruction of an automated data‑processing system.
  • The pro‑Russian group NoName057(16) claimed responsibility, as some relay points still face local backlogs such as roughly 1,400 uncollected parcels in Gif‑sur‑Yvette.
