Overview
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced €200 million on Thursday during a visit to the identity‑documents agency ANTS to boost state cyber defenses, with plans that include a possible new state digital authority.
- The April breach exposed names, emails and dates of birth from roughly 11–12 million user accounts for IDs, passports and driving licences, and the data was later advertised for sale under the alias “breach3d.”
- Police linked the forum listing to a 15‑year‑old who was arrested on Saturday, April 25, in Bastia, and a judicial investigation opened Wednesday with prosecutors seeking his formal charging and court supervision.
- The Paris prosecutor listed suspected offenses involving unlawful access, data extraction and hindering a state system, crimes that can carry up to seven years in prison and a €300,000 fine if proven.
- Service slowdowns continue to affect daily life, with driving‑school exam sign‑ups and permit cards delayed and some town halls relying on paper forms while ANTS systems recover from about ten days of disruption.
