La Poste partially restores online services after cyberattack

Reported by AI Image generated by AI

La Poste's online services were partially restored on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, following a denial-of-service cyberattack that disrupted the company just two days before Christmas. The attack, claimed by pro-Russian hackers, also affected La Banque Postale customers but did not compromise personal data. Parcel and mail distribution proceeded normally despite ongoing instability.

Scammers are now sending highly personalized SMS posing as delivery personnel, including victims' names, addresses, and sometimes access codes. These messages, tied to recent data breaches, lead to fake sites designed to steal personal information. Authorities advise against clicking links and checking directly with official services.

A 22-year-old man from Limoges, previously convicted for similar acts, has been arrested in connection with last week's cyberattack on the Interior Ministry's servers, which compromised confidential records from the TAJ and FPR databases. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez called the breach 'very grave' and ordered security upgrades including two-factor authentication.
