China Hack Hit French Infrastructure via Ivanti Bugs

A cyberattack tied to China exploited three zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti software last year, breaching critical infrastructure across France. Government agencies and companies operating in telecom, media, finance and transportation sectors were affected in the China hack hit French networks, according to French authorities.

The attackers leveraged the Ivanti flaws to infiltrate systems and move laterally within networks, raising concerns about long-term access and data exposure. France’s cybersecurity officials said the campaign targeted both public and private institutions, underlining the scale and sophistication of the operation.

This China hack hit French infrastructure at a time when global focus on software supply chain vulnerabilities continued to intensify. Authorities have not released specific details on the tools or methods used beyond the Ivanti exploits, but emphasized that the breaches were part of a broader espionage effort.
