Two suspects have been detained in connection with a series of cyberattacks that occurred this summer in France, according to Franceinfo. The attacks targeted several government and corporate websites, including the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP), a key agency responsible for tax collection and public financial management. A man suspected of being one of the main perpetrators was formally placed under investigation and detained provisionally on August 20 by the Paris prosecutor's office. A second suspect was arrested on August 26 but was later released to allow investigators to examine his digital devices for evidence. The cyberattacks were attributed to a group of hackers known as "ZeroBytes," who claimed responsibility for the attacks on a dark web site starting on July 16. The group stated they had carried out attacks against both government and private sector websites. In addition to targeting the DGFiP, ZeroBytes also claimed in mid-August to have stolen millions of records from France's National Education system. This data breach affected a wide range of individuals, including students, parents, teachers, and administrative staff. The Paris prosecutor's office has confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining the digital evidence collected from the suspects. The attacks have raised concerns about the security of sensitive data held by public institutions and have prompted calls for increased cybersecurity measures. As the investigation progresses, more details about the scope of the cyberattacks and the identities of those behind them are expected to emerge. Cybersecurity experts have emphasized the importance of protecting critical infrastructure from digital threats, especially as such attacks can have far-reaching consequences for both individuals and the public sector. The situation also highlights the growing challenge of combating cybercrime, which often involves complex networks and international elements. Authorities are working closely with technical experts to trace the origins of the attacks and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
