The latest cyberattack to hit France follows a warning from Attal's defence adviser just last week that the Olympics games in July and European Parliament elections in June could be "significant targets".

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's office said several state bodies were targeted but did not provide details.

"Many ministerial services were targeted" from Sunday "using familiar technical means but of unprecedented intensity," Attal's office said.

Whatever it is, it seems to be as effective as an open door.

What are you talking about? Firewalls exist, restricted access, certificate based authentication and so on. Im working in that field and its not like you're absolutely are going to be hacked, if you are knowledgeable enough and keep up to date.
