A pro-Russian hacker group has been identified as the culprit behind a significant cyberattack on the French Ministry of Education. The attack disrupted ministry operations, caused prolonged system outages, and led to the leakage of sensitive information, resulting in substantial financial losses.
Investigations revealed that the attackers exploited security vulnerabilities in the ministry’s digital infrastructure to execute this sophisticated cyberattack. French authorities are collaborating closely with cybersecurity experts to trace the perpetrators and implement stronger defense mechanisms.
This incident highlights the critical need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in government and educational institutions to protect sensitive data from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
