Digital raids as dazzling as they are harmless in the long term.
Since Sunday evening, several ministries or administrations have been the target of denial of service (DDoS) computer attacks which are marginally parasitizing the activity of their agents.
The Prime Minister's services quickly spoke on Monday of a cyberattack of "unprecedented intensity" but their impact at this stage "has been reduced" and access to state sites "restored".
Some disruptions still persisted this Tuesday after a rapid response to the problem.
All eyes quickly turned to the East.
The attack was in fact claimed – in English, Arabic and Russian – on Monday on encrypted messaging Telegram and social networks by an alliance of hacktivists, computer hackers with a supposed political cause.
The first to open hostilities, the Anonymous Sudan group was quickly joined by the NoName and UserSec groups.
