A message in Cyrillic in support of Russia
He would have been alerted by one of his constituents, who would have spotted on the mayor’s website a message in Cyrillic meaning: “Respect Russia, otherwise we will continue to make war on you. »
The chosen one ensures that no ransom has been demanded. Our colleagues add that the site was only a showcase, not giving access to the personal data of the 17,500 inhabitants of the town.
In addition to the two Ile-de-France municipalities, the town hall of Ambérieu-en-Bugey, in Ain, also experienced the same attack.
