据法国LCP电视台报道，周五当天，用于法国社会党和民主派初选的在线投票平台遭到网络攻击，导致部分选民无法正常访问，不过已记录的选票数据并未受损。
The online platform used for France’s Socialist and social democratic primary was targeted in a cyberattack on Friday, disrupting some voters’ access, although the integrity of recorded votes was not compromised, French broadcaster LCP reported.
初选组织委员会主席帕特里克·梅努奇在声明中称：“自本周五上午8点（格林尼治时间6点）平台开放以来，负责社会党和民主派初选投票的e-votez平台便遭受了网络攻击。”
“The e-votez platform, the provider for the Socialist and Democratic primary vote, has been the victim of a cyberattack since it opened this Friday morning at 8 a.m. (0600 GMT),” Patrick Mennucci, head of the primary’s organizing commission, said in a statement.
梅努奇表示，平台始终维持正常运行，投票流程也未出现任何中断。
Mennucci said the platform had remained operational and voting had continued without interruption since it opened.
他形容此次攻击为“大量虚假连接请求的涌入”，指出攻击者利用机器人程序制造大量并发连接。
He described the attack as a “massive and fictitious influx of connections,” saying bots were being used to maximize the number of simultaneous connections.
虽然选票数据安然无恙，但此次攻击“阻碍了部分选民完成投票”。
Although recorded votes remained intact, the attack “hinders the ability of some voters to cast their ballots,” he said.
主办方称已采取多项措施保障投票顺利进行，并协助遇到连接问题的选民。同时专门开通了咨询热线协助用户访问平台。首轮投票于周五上午8点启动，计划于周六晚8点结束。
Organizers said they had taken measures to maintain the vote and assist voters experiencing connection problems. A support line remained available to help them access the platform. The first round of voting opened at 8 am Friday (0600 GMT) and is scheduled to close at 8 pm Saturday (1800 GMT).
相关政党均谴责此次攻击是企图破坏民主程序的行径，并表示将诉诸法律途径维权。
The political organizations involved condemned what they described as an attempt to disrupt the democratic process and said they would refer the matter to the courts.
