Cyberattacks and new regulations impact French school year

Overview

As the 2026-2027 academic year begins, the French education system continues to navigate the aftermath of the ZeroBytes cyberattack. While the majority of the country has stabilized, the Nantes and Toulouse academies remain significantly impacted by digital disruptions to professional messaging and administrative tools.

In addition to the ongoing recovery from the data breach, the start of the school year in France is marked by new regulations, including a ban on mobile phones and connected objects in high schools. These challenges coincide with broader concerns regarding teacher recruitment and the lingering impact of the cyberattack on essential digital services.
