The bug hit the country’s 8,500 post offices on Monday morning and by mid-afternoon was still not fixed. The firm’s tech teams were working to repair the fault, which La Poste says appears to be a technical failure and not the result of hacking. "The network has faced a computer problem since this morning in all its retail outlets, rendering certain operations impossible at counters," La Poste said in a statement. Post office workers were advising customers to use the machines to buy stamps while they waited for the computer system to get back on track. We advise you to use the (La Poste) app or the internet sites to carry out your operations," a La Poste spokesperson told LCI.
