Rhône FM

Rhône FM, also known as Radio Rhône, is a radio broadcaster headquartered in Switzerland. The station provides a mix of music, news, and local programming to its audience. Its online presence includes a dedicated section for the Valais region, indicating a geographic focus on that canton. As a radio outlet, it transmits content over FM frequencies and likely streams online. The organisation serves listeners in the French‑speaking part of Switzerland.

In April 2025, Rhône FM suffered a ransomware attack that encrypted its broadcast servers and triggered a ransom demand. Thanks to existing safeguards and a prompt staff response, limited transmissions were restored the following morning. Full service was anticipated to be resumed later in the same week, according to the broadcaster’s statement. While some files may have been exfiltrated during the incident, the organisation confirmed that sensitive customer data remained protected. It also acknowledged that minor disruptions could persist for a few days as systems were fully cleaned and restored. The event highlights the station’s reliance on digital infrastructure for its broadcast operations and its capacity to manage cyber‑security incidents.
