A second French-speaking organisation has been hacked in a matter of days.

Belgian newspapers Le Soir and Sudpresse, both part of Rossel media group, were the victims of cyber attacks on Sunday evening (April 12).

The hackers, who brought the sites down for around four hours each, have yet to be found.

It follows a similar incident at French broadcaster TV5 Monde, which was hacked a few days earlier. On Saturday (April 11) the website of the Walloon Ministry of Economy was also hacked.
