Several establishments were targeted by malicious messages posted on the messaging systems of digital workspaces (ENT), in the academies of Reims, Nancy-Metz and Strasbourg on Monday March 25 in the morning, according to information from France Bleu Alsace, France Bleu Champagne -Ardenne, France Bleu Lorraine and franceinfo.

Around ten middle and high schools were targeted in Marne, Ardennes, Aube and Haute-Marne during the night from Sunday to Monday. According to France Bleu, around twenty in Alsace and around thirty in Lorraine were also affected. In Lorraine, the rectorate and establishments have filed a complaint.

These establishments have received messages announcing an upcoming attack on their premises. After the report, the police must intervene to secure the premises before the arrival of the students and the establishments must close their doors for several hours. Digital workspaces are also closed as a precautionary measure.

These threats come in a tense context, where more than 150 high schools and colleges in Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France have received similar threats of attack after the hacking of their digital work spaces (ENT) since the middle of last week.
