France’s postal service, La Poste, has been largely down for over twelve hours following a widespread network failure, reports The Register.
All of La Poste’s IT systems are reportedly affected, including the website, the digital document service Digiposte, a digital ID service and the mobile app. It is still possible to handle cases over the counter.
La Poste’s bank, Banque Postales, app and online services are also down. Payments and SMS verification should still work.
La Poste has not said what caused the failure, but according to Le Monde Informatique it is a DDoS attack. It is unclear when the situation will be resolved and whether it could affect deliveries for Christmas.
