Several French government websites have been taken down following a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack believed to be linked to a Russian hacking group. The affected websites included the Paris Administrative Court, the French Ministry of Health website, and the Supreme Court website. The attacks were likely in response to the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France on August 24. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Durov’s arrest was not political and that the outcome of his case would be decided by the independent French judiciary. These statements sparked widespread backlash from the digital currency community and free speech activists. Industry leaders including Vitalik Buterin and Elon Musk called for Durov’s release.
