French ISP Free confirms data breach after hacker puts customer data up for auction
Briefly

Free S.A.S acknowledged a cybersecurity breach where a hacker attempted to sell stolen data from the company, ensuring that no sensitive information was compromised.
Despite the breach affecting some personal information, Free reassured customers that critical data such as passwords or bank details were secure and that services remained unaffected.
The hacker claimed to have exfiltrated data including names, phone numbers, emails, and addresses of over 19 million Free customers, but not information sufficient for direct financial theft.
