Minister Nuñez indicated that investigators are looking into several possibilities: foreign interference, activists seeking to demonstrate vulnerabilities in government systems, or cybercrime."
The French Ministry of the Interior detected a cyberattack during the night of December 11–12 that compromised email servers and allowed attackers to access a number of document files. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirmed the breach and said the ministry implemented standard protection procedures and strengthened access controls to staff information systems. Authorities opened an investigation to determine the origin and extent, considering foreign interference, activist probes of vulnerabilities, or criminal cyber activity. The ministry oversees police, the Gendarmerie, emergency services, public safety, and identity files, making it a high-value target. Past campaigns attributed to APT28 targeted multiple French entities.
