French state services hit by cyberattacks of 'unprecedented intensity'
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.
I think we need a new word for "ddos". Headline writers and journalists seem reluctant to use the one we have. "Cyber attack" is annoyingly vague. There's a pretty big gap between what people imagine when reading about unprecedented cyberattacks from Russia and what seems probable to be the reality of a few government websites being temporarily inaccessible.
Cyber Flash Mob?

It will keep happening. The Russians have huge buildings the size of aircraft hangers, full of people that do this 24 hours a day.
Norton ain't gonna cut it.
