La Poste Says Services Restored After Holiday Cyberattack

The operator reports the attack is contained following a brief outage that disrupted parcel tracking during the peak gift‑delivery period.

Overview

  • La Poste said Friday that all services are available again and the cyberattack has been contained, with online parcel tracking functioning.
  • Distribution continued through the disruption, with 5.5 million parcels delivered since Monday, including 2 million on December 24.
  • The website and tracking were brought back online from Wednesday afternoon, and La Banque Postale’s online services and call centers are operating normally.
  • The company describes the incident as a denial‑of‑service attack and says no sensitive data were stolen.
  • A judicial investigation is open in Paris, now handled by the DGSI and the national cyber unit, after a pro‑Russian group claimed responsibility, a claim experts urge treating with caution.
