First round of French election: party attacks and a modest traffic dip

France is currently holding early legislative elections with a second round scheduled for July 7, 2024. During this period, Cloudflare has successfully blocked DDoS attacks targeting three different French political parties. The year 2024 has been dubbed "the year of elections," with over 60 countries holding elections. France has experienced a series of cyberattacks during the election process, including DDoS attacks on political parties involved in the elections. Cloudflare has protected these parties from such attacks by blocking malicious traffic and ensuring their websites remain operational.
