"The country's Interior Minister, Laurent Nunez, appeared to suggest Russia was the suspected culprit, stating that "foreign interference very often comes from same country." The incident comes as France and other European allies of Ukraine have accused Russia of engaging in "hybrid warfare" tactics, including sabotage, assassinations, cyberattacks, and disinformation campaigns, which are often difficult to directly attribute to Moscow."
French authorities have launched an investigation into a suspected cyberattack plot targeting an international passenger ferry after Italian intelligence alerted them to possible malware infection. A Latvian crew member is in custody and faces charges of acting on behalf of an unidentified foreign power. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez suggested Russia may be implicated, citing frequent foreign interference from the same country.

The incident is framed amid broader accusations of hybrid warfare against Russia by European allies of Ukraine.
