France's post office partly offline for over 12 hours
"La Poste, France's postal service, is largely offline, possibly due to an unexplained incident. At the time of writing, the organization's website offers only a brief message that opens "Notre site est indisponible" - our site is unavailable - and adds that its teams are doing all they can to resolve the situation quickly. On its Facebook page, La Poste published a notice that states "A major network incident is currently disrupting all of our information systems.""
"The notice states that the laposte.fr site is down, as is the Digiposte secure document storage service, La Poste's digital identity service, and the La Poste app. The notice also warns that some post offices may experience degraded service, but that over-the-counter transactions remain possible. La Poste also operates a bank, Banque Postale, which is experiencing trouble. On its X account, the bank told customers "An incident is currently disrupting the accessibility of part of our information systems.""
La Poste's networks and digital services are largely offline following a major network incident. The laposte.fr site, Digiposte secure document storage, the digital identity service, and the La Poste app are unavailable. Some post offices may experience degraded service, but over-the-counter transactions remain possible. Banque Postale reports accessibility issues while basic services such as payments and SMS-based two-factor authentication remain available; the bank's app and online services are down. Le Monde Informatique reports La Poste says the outage stems from a DDoS attack. Cloudflare recorded traffic spikes but independent confirmation of malicious targeting is unclear. The impact on Christmas deliveries is uncertain as restoration efforts continue.
