A large-scale cybersecurity breach has potentially exposed the personal data of 12 million people in France, with the stolen information now being sold on the dark web.

The leak includes full names, phone numbers, email and home addresses, marital status, and even postal center details. The data is reportedly being sold for €10,000 in cryptocurrency, and an anonymous hacker has already released the details of 100,000 individuals for free to prove its authenticity.

While the exact source of the breach is unclear, experts suspect it may be linked to a government service or an insurance provider.

This incident increases the risk of identity theft, phishing scams, and fraud, as cybercriminals can use this data for financial and social engineering attacks. Authorities are investigating the breach, but proactive security measures are the best defense against potential fraud.
