Overview
- La Poste says a DDoS attack triggered a major network incident that took down its website, app, digital identity and Digiposte services, and it reported no compromise of customer data.
- By Wednesday morning, outages were not fully resolved and parcel tracking and deliveries were hindered during the peak pre-Christmas rush.
- Prosecutors said the DGSI assumed the investigation after Noname057 claimed responsibility, though officials have not verified the attribution.
- La Banque Postale reports essential banking continues: ATMs and in‑store card payments function, transfers via WERO are processing, and online payments can be authenticated by SMS despite app and web access limits.
- The disruption follows other recent cyber incidents in France, including an Interior Ministry email breach with a 22-year-old suspect detained, with no link established to the La Poste outage.
