DEVELOPING NEWS: France’s cybersdefense chief has said that 19,000 websites in the country have been hit by cyberattacks since the terror attacks on Paris last week, AP reported. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Adm. Arnaud Coustilliere said that many of the attacks had been carried out by “more or less structured” groups, including some well-known Islamist hacking collectives. He said: “That’s never been seen before. It’s the first time that a country has been faced with such a large wave.” The attacks were mostly small denial-or-services attacks, Coustilliere said. They have affected sites ranging from pizza shops to military regiments.
