France on Tuesday accused Russian military intelligence of being behind a series of cyberattacks against the country over the last decade, including against an organisation involved in the 2024 Paris Olympics and Emmanuel Macron’s first presidential campaign in 2017.
Since 2021, a branch of Russian military intelligence (GRU) dedicated to such attacks has also targeted a dozen French entities including “defence, financial and economic sectors”, the foreign ministry said.
The GRU “has been carrying out cyberattacks against France for several years using a method known as APT28”, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said in a message on X, officially attributing these cyberattacks to the GRU for the first time.
