French officials were scrambling to deal with a cyberattack on Friday after hackers claimed to have broken into the justice ministry's computer systems.
A group known as LockBit 2.0 posted a message saying they had locked the ministry's files and would publish them on February 10 if the government failed to pay a ransom.
