"The Paris Prosecutor's Office announced on Thursday that the minor, suspected of using the online alias 'breach3d', faces two computer crime allegations linked to an intrusion in which between 12 million and 18 million lines of data were offered for sale on cybercrime forums."
"Public Prosecutor Laure Beccuau has requested that the minor be formally charged and placed under judicial supervision, as each offense carries a potential prison sentence of seven years and a maximum €300,000 fine."
"The seller using the alias 'breach3d' initially advertised the data trove as containing 18-19 million records, and the types of data offered for sale aligned with what the Interior Ministry had described."
French prosecutors detained a 15-year-old on April 25 for allegedly stealing millions of records from France Titres (ANTS). The minor, using the alias 'breach3d', faces two computer crime allegations related to a data breach involving 12 to 18 million lines of data. A judicial investigation was opened on April 29 for fraudulent access to a state-run data processing system. Each offense could lead to seven years in prison and a €300,000 fine. The cyberattack was confirmed by the French Interior Ministry on April 20.
