One in two French people’s data was stolen in a major cybersecurity breach - the largest ever in France - leaving 33 million at risk.
Over 33 million people in France - nearly half of its population - have been impacted by the country’s biggest-ever cyberattack.
Two French service providers for medical insurance companies were targeted, with the companies admitting that millions of people’s data were potentially exposed to the hackers.
“This is the first time there has been a breach on such a scale,” Yann Padova, a lawyer specialising in digital data protection and former Secretary General of the French data protection authority (CNIL) told French broadcaster Franceinfo on Thursday.
They are gonna riot over this aren’t they? God I love that about them.
As they fucking should. Identity theft is no joke.
Jim.
Millions of families suffer every year.
Every year countless children are born French. For the price of a cup of coffee a day…you can prevent this.
MICHAEL!
Speed cameras? Riot.
Large company does layoffs? Riot.
Taxes? Riot.
Told they shouldn’t riot? Also riot.
Riot doesn’t work? Revolution.
I love those crazy French bastards!
Straight to riot. We have the best patients in the world because of riots.
