**La Poste Hit by Major DDoS Attack Disrupting Digital Services**
France’s La Poste, the country’s national postal service, recently fell victim to a large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, targeting the interconnection between one of its data centers and the internet. The attack overwhelmed the infrastructure with a flood of malicious traffic, disrupting access to the organization’s online services.
DDoS attacks aim to cripple systems by saturating them with excessive requests, rendering them unavailable to legitimate users. In this case, the assault specifically impacted the link between La Poste’s data center and external networks, though the full extent of the disruption remains unclear.
While no ransom demands or data breaches have been reported, the incident highlights the growing threat of DDoS attacks against critical infrastructure. La Poste has not yet disclosed the duration of the outage or the measures taken to restore services, but such attacks can have significant operational and reputational consequences for targeted organizations.
