The Départment des Alpes-Maritimes was forced to cut all IT networks to “protect sensitive data” as it was targeted in a cyberattack.
The responsiveness of Alpes-Maritimes’ digital services department and its crisis management team prevented the data from being hacked.
Although the overall diagnosis of the attack, the responsiveness of the actions taken ensured there was no piracy of community data.
