The most hacked country in Europe? Why is France the target of so many cyberattacks
The “unprecedented” hacks of French supermarket refrigerators were the latest in a series of major cyberattacks that have made the country the most hacked in Europe, according to some analysts. Cyberattacks are on the rise globally, but why is France such a ready target?
According to some analysts, France has become the most hacked country in Europe, following a series of major cyberattacks including "unprecedented" hacks on French supermarket refrigerators, France 24 reports.
The Jerusalem Post reports that French immigration authorities recently barred Yossi Dagan, the head of the Samaria Regional Council in the West Bank, from entering the country. During border control, Dagan was questioned and presented with documentation stating he was prohibited from entry due to his role in the council, his construction of 35 settlements in the West Bank, and his advocacy for Gush Katif. Dagan expressed pride in being a Zionist and building what he described as the historic homeland of the Jewish people.
The Jerusalem Post notes this is an unusual move by French authorities with no previously known cases of the country banning the head of an Israeli regional council in the West Bank. This follows an announcement in May by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot that France had banned National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering the country.
