Pro-Russian hacker group Noname057 has claimed the December 22 DDoS attack on France's La Poste that disrupted online services before Christmas. As of December 24, systems remain partially affected despite partial restorations reported the previous day.
The pro-Russian hacker group Noname057 claimed responsibility for the DDoS attack on La Poste, as reported by Reuters via Engadget on December 24, 2025. This follows the initial assault on December 22 that knocked out central systems, halting package tracking and La Banque Postale online banking during the holiday rush.
Partial restorations began on December 23, with websites regaining accessibility and reduced instability, per La Poste's updates and DownDetector reports. However, as of December 24, full recovery was incomplete, amplifying inconveniences for consumers.
Noname057, known for targeting Ukraine supporters across over a dozen countries, faced Europol operations this summer and US Justice Department actions. The attack underscores cyber threats tied to Russia's Ukraine invasion.
French authorities have not yet officially responded.
