I just saw a post about this on nostr. What a mess!

Any sense of the cause yet?

Just today I heard of some issues in regards to France here on SN #1199463

Here’s the link to the news: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/08/26/france-may-need-imf-bailout-says-economy-minister/

Gonna dig into details now — though it’s just noise to be honest.

I had seen the IMF bailout news, too. France is often a total basketcase, but it seems like this is a different kind of event.

Couldn’t find any details or statements from the banks. Could be network failure or something.

To be honest, I thought this was a bank run caused by the recent statement of French finance minister.

Seems like a potential cyber attack, but we'll see.

The note I saw didn't have any more detail than this post.

But the event is real, i.e. blackout was happening? It is not a fake news?
