A large-scale cyberattack has compromised data held by the French tax agency, impacting both individuals and businesses. The French Finance Ministry reported the breach late Thursday, confirming the theft of sensitive taxpayer information. Hackers claim to have stolen data belonging to approximately 700,000 taxpayers, according to the FrenchBreaches website. The Ministry stated that affected users will be individually notified regarding potentially compromised data and advised on necessary precautions. The extent of the data stolen and the potential for misuse are currently under investigation. Authorities have not yet identified the perpetrators of the attack, but an inquiry is underway. This incident raises concerns about data security within French government systems.
