TV5Monde

On the evening of 8 April 2015, TV5Monde was the victim of a cyberattack by a hacker group known as "CyberCaliphate", which claimed to have ties to the terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The hackers breached the broadcaster's internal systems in what director Yves Bigot described as an "unprecedented" attack, overriding TV5Monde's broadcast programming for over three hours, with service only partially restored in the early hours of the following morning.[3] Normal broadcasting services were still disrupted late into 9 April.[3] Various computerised internal administrative and support systems including e-mail were also still shut down or otherwise inaccessible due to the attack.[3][4] The hackers also hijacked TV5Monde's Facebook and Twitter pages to post the personal information of relatives of French soldiers participating in actions against the organization, along with messages critical of President François Hollande, arguing that the January 2015 terrorist attacks were "gifts" for his "unforgivable mistake" of partaking in conflicts that "[serve] no purpose".[3][5]

As part of the official response to the attack, the French Minister of Culture and Communications, Fleur Pellerin, called for an emergency meeting of the heads of various major media outlets and groups. The meeting took place on 10 April at an undisclosed location.[4] The French Prime Minister Manuel Valls called the attack "an unacceptable insult to freedom of information and expression".[4] His cabinet colleague, the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve attempted to allay public concern by stating that France "had already increased its anti-hacking measures to protect against cyber-attacks" following the aforementioned terrorist attacks on January earlier that year, which had left a total of 20 people dead.[4]

French investigators later discounted the theory that the attack was connected to ISIL, instead suspecting the APT28 or Pawn Storm, a hacking group with alleged links to the Russian government.[6][7] Investigators concluded that the attack was a test of the same sorts of cyber-weaponry that were used to switch off a power station in Ukraine.[8]

As a result, Airbus Defence and Space implemented the Keelback Net cyber sensor.[9]
