France's 'Secure' ID agency probes claimed 19M record breach
"These 18 to 19 million files contain an impressive amount of personally identifiable information. It seems the French government would do better to stick to the culinary arts: their digital defenses are as crumbly as their croissants."
"The disclosure of data does not include additional data submitted during the various procedures, such as attachments. This personal data does not allow unauthorized access to the portal account."
A security incident at France's National Agency for Secure Titles may have compromised personal data linked to user accounts on the ants.gouv.fr portal. The breach, detected on April 15, potentially exposed login IDs, names, email addresses, birth dates, and other personal information. A cybercriminal claims to have stolen between 18 and 19 million records, representing about a third of France's population. The government has not confirmed the extent of the breach or how the attackers gained access, and investigations are ongoing.
