France is stepping up its fight against foreign interference after cyberattacks disrupted supermarket refrigeration systems and knocked a key national security website offline. New legislation is being examined on Wednesday, a day after Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot vowed to tolerate no meddling from abroad – even from countries considered partners.
A cyberattack paralysed the website of France's General Secretariat for Defence and National Security (SGDSN), a body attached to the prime minister, for several hours on Tuesday.
