"French Government Agencies Hit by Cyberattacks of 'Unprecedented Intensity'"
Several French government agencies have experienced "intense" cyberattacks. The description of the attacks aligns with that of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. According to the French government, the attack was carried out with familiar technical means but at an unprecedented level of intensity. Although DDoS incidents have been attributed to state-sponsored groups, the attack's simplicity prevents it from providing a long-term disruptive capability or a method for the attacker to infiltrate target networks.
