France is faced with an "unprecedented" wave of cyber attacks after the recent three-day horror that left 20 dead.
About 19.000 websites have been hit so far by groups including "Islamic hackers", said its head serviceς cyber securitys.
"We have never seen anything like this before. It's the first time a country has faced such a big wave," Admiral Arno Custiger told reporters. He rendered them attacks in "more or less organized groups", among them well-known "Islamist" groups.
Attackers targeted a variety of websites, from military services to pizzerias. In most cases they followed the DoS tactic (refusal supply services), in which target computers are overwhelmed with connection requests until they shut down due to overload.
