Cyberattack at French Telecom Giant Orange

October 8, 2025

INCIDENT

French telecommunications giant Orange announced it was the victim of an unspecified cyberattack. Orange's cybersecurity subsidiary was “mobilized to isolate the potentially affected services and limit the impacts.” This has led to some operational disruptions, primarily affecting French customers, which are expected to be gradually resolved by July 30.

"At this stage of the investigation, there is no evidence to suggest that any customer or Orange data has been extracted. We remain vigilant in this regard," the company added. Orange has not attributed the cyberattack to a specific hacking group or threat actor.
