France reports data breach affecting 1.2 million bank accounts
French authorities announced on Wednesday that personal data from roughly 1.2 million bank accounts were accessed by a malicious actor following unauthorized access to the national bank account database FICOBA in late January.
The Ministry of the Economy said in a statement that the breach involved an official’s credentials being misused, allowing the actor to view account details, account holder identities, addresses, and in some cases, tax identification numbers.
