​France accuses Russian military intelligence over cyberattacks

France has accused Russia’s military intelligence (GRU) of carrying out cyberattacks on French organizations, including those related to the 2024 Paris Olympics and President Macron’s 2017 election campaign. French officials say the GRU’s APT28 group, also known as Fancy Bear, has targeted multiple sectors in France since 2021. The attacks are linked to Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine. France has condemned these actions and pledged to fight back against further cyber threats, especially with upcoming elections in 2027.

​Roses, oil and beaver secretion: why French museums are appealing to visitors’ sense of smell – undefined

To make exhibits more immersive, French museums are incorporating scents. For example, the Musée national de la Marine in Paris recreates the smell of oil from the 2002 Prestige oil spill to raise environmental awareness. Other museums, like the Musée Marc Chagall in Nice, feature perfumes inspired by art. While some visitors find the smells distracting, many enjoy the unique experience. This trend, which started in 2016, is growing in popularity and attracting large crowds to events.
