FR: Morières-lès-Avignon, Douai, Würth France suffer cyber attacks

Posted on April 12, 2021 by Dissent

Le Dauphiné reports (translated):

Like Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, this Friday, hackers also targeted the computer system of the City of Morières-lès-Avignon. A complaint has not yet been filed but the gendarmes of the Avignon company are aware of this malicious act.

In the other case, unnamed threat actors had demanded  500,000 euros for the decryption key — the same amount demanded by DoppelPaymer in yet another case, although it’s not clear who is involved in these two cases.

Elsewhere in France last week,  the town hall of Douai also suffered cyber attack, paralyzing the telephone lines and emails of certain municipal services.  Read more about that one on La Voix du Nord.

Also of note: Würth France, the French subsidiary of the German hardware chain, experienced some unspecified problem that has impacted their system for more than one week now. They haven’t actually confirmed it was a ransomware attack, but it sure sounds like something crippled their IT system. Read more on LeMagIT.

    I am so confused when it comes to attacks. I’ve had and instagram security breach in the last few days on multiple account and i keep on reading about other attacks. What’s happening and what is the point of this…
