These incidents include everything from the occupation of the fake Islamic State of the French television broadcasting signal in 2015 to the leak of President Emmanuel Macron’s emails in 2017.
On Tuesday, the French Foreign Ministry Formally attributed to these cybretics And several other members of the APT28, a Russian military intelligence (GRU) hacking unit, also known as Fancy Beer, is known for leaking Hillary Clinton’s emails during the 2016 US presidential election in the United States and sustaining CyberTrax on US political operations. APT28 activities in France followed the same playbox: “Macron Leaks” was published a day before the French presidential election, in hopes to influence voters, and fake ISIS, which resulted in the 2015 Bataklin terrorist attacks, “France was planning to panic” in France.
