French Government Targeted by Unprecedented Cyberattacks

The French government has reported facing "unprecedented intensity" cyberattacks targeting several of its services, with a group of hackers called Anonymous Sudan claiming responsibility. The attacks, which started Sunday night, were said to have hit multiple government ministries, but the impact has since been reduced for most services. The government has accused Russia of operating a long-running online manipulation campaign and has been working to improve cyber defenses ahead of the Paris Olympics.
