The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has officially attributed cyberattacks targeting French entities to Russia's military intelligence (GRU), specifically a group known as APT28. This group has been active since at least 2021, compromising institutions involved in public services and the 2024 Olympics. The French Cybersecurity Agency's recent report sheds light on the serious threat posed by these cyber activities, which have historical precedents including interference in elections and previous sabotage attempts. France emphasizes its commitment to counteracting these malicious behaviors.
Since 2021, this attack group has been used to target or compromise a dozen French entities working in public services and private enterprises.
The ministry warns of Russian disinformation tactics and interference, especially with the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics.
