Retribution for Supporting Ukraine. Pro-Russian Hackers Attacked Websites of Several Cities in France.

Pro-Russian hackers carried out an attack on the online pages of several cities in France. They called it 'revenge for France's support of Ukraine'. This is reported by DW, citing AFP.

On December 31, it became impossible to access or there were availability issues with the websites of the cities of Marseille and Tarbes, as well as the Upper Garonne department in southwestern France.

The Marseille City Hall informed AFP that their servers were attacked by hackers, so it was necessary to implement 'protective mechanisms that led to the unavailability of the websites'.

The NoName group claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it 'revenge for France's support of Ukraine', reported the France 24 television network.

The hackers reported on social media that they also attacked the websites of Nantes, Bordeaux, Poitiers, Pau, Nîmes, Nice, Angers, Le Havre, Montpellier, as well as the Landes department, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia. However, all these sites continued to operate on December 31, according to France 24.

It is worth noting that Russian hackers attacked the 'Pramyi' TV channel on December 26. The channel's press service reported this. The moving news feed on the channel was hacked, causing Russian propaganda narratives to be broadcast instead of news.

Additionally, on December 19, a large-scale cyberattack occurred on Ukraine's state registries. Specialists worked diligently to gradually restore access to the registries. According to forecasts, there is no threat to other resources.
