A pro-Russian hacking group, NoName057(16), claimed responsibility for a major cyberattack on France's national postal service, La Poste, just days before Christmas. The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack knocked La Poste's central computer systems offline, disrupting package deliveries and online payments at its banking arm. The France — Directorate-General for Internal Security (DGSI) has taken over the investigation. France and its European allies allege that Russia is waging a campaign of 'hybrid warfare' to sow division and undermine support for Ukraine, with this cyberattack being part of that broader effort. La Poste, which delivered 2.6 billion packages last year and employs over 200,000 people, suffered a significant blow during its busiest season.
