Pro-Russian group Noname057 claims cyberattack on La Poste services

Pro-Russian hacking group Noname057 claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that disrupted La Poste’s digital banking and online services, as reported this week. La Poste confirmed a major incident knocked core information systems offline, affecting the main website, mobile app, digital identity service, and the Digiposte document storage platform, with some post offices experiencing service disruptions while counter services remained available.

Online services including La Banque Postale online and the mobile app, laposte[.]fr, Digiposte, La Poste Digital Identity, and the La Poste application were temporarily inaccessible. French prosecutors said the French intelligence agency DGSI took over the investigation. The article notes that in July European and U.S. authorities disrupted NoName057(16)’s infrastructure under Operation Eastwood, which involved multiple arrests, house searches, and widespread warnings to supporters. It also highlights that NoName057(16) has previously targeted a range of NATO and allied countries, with the group described as pro-Russian hacktivists.
