And three.
The department of Seine-Maritime is in turn affected by a “Major computer attack” and had to temporarily cut its networks “Completely”, he announced on Monday.
The departmental public services operate "in a highly degraded mode": it is now impossible to file individual files "for all youth, sport, bio ethanol and Low Emission Zone (ZFE) schemes" as well as with the Departmental house for people with disabilities, according to a press release.
The fixed telephone lines of the department are spared, and the procedures remain possible in paper format for the personalized autonomy allowance, the disability compensation benefits and the medico-social centers - the latter continuing to honor the scheduled appointments. .
Complaint filed
The computer spaces of the colleges as well as the directions of the roads, the environment and the departmental sites and museums, which are on another network, operate normally, according to the same source.
The department says it has filed a complaint and issued "a pre-declaration to the National Commission for Computing and Liberties (CNIL)" and indicates that it has implemented "all measures (…) to assess the damage, protect the data users, and restore (its) ability to act.
This computer attack is the third suffered in recent weeks by local authorities, after the Corbeil-Essonnes hospital in August and the city of Caen at the end of September, also located in the Normandy region.
