Pro-Russian Hack Hits Multiple French Firms

On September 3, 2024, a major cyberattack orchestrated by the pro-Russian hacker group NoName057 targeted multiple French institutions, leading to significant disruptions. The attack employed Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) techniques, which inundated the website of Montpellier, as well as regional councils and several prominent French companies. The overwhelming traffic caused these sites to become inaccessible, impacting various sectors including local government, aerospace, and insurance.

Among the affected entities were notable organizations such as the French aerospace company Daher, the Franco-Italian aircraft manufacturer ATR, and the French insurer AXA. Additionally, the cyberattack extended to regional councils in Normandy and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and local business associations, including the Lille metropolitan area business club. The attackers, identified as NoName057, have a history of targeting countries that support Ukraine, using cyber operations to further their political agenda.

This attack follows a pattern of similar incidents by NoName057, which has been actively engaging in cyber warfare since August 2022. The group has previously targeted various NATO countries and organizations supportive of Ukraine, leveraging DDoS attacks to disrupt services and make political statements. The group’s activities underscore the evolving nature of cyber threats, where geopolitical conflicts are increasingly played out in the digital realm.

As French IT teams work to restore normal operations, the incident highlights the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures. While no data breaches have been reported, the attack’s impact on website availability emphasizes the importance of robust defenses against politically motivated cyber threats. The ongoing efforts to recover from the attack reflect the broader challenge of protecting critical digital infrastructure in a landscape where cyberattacks are becoming a common tool of political and economic disruption.
