Attacker gets into France's database listing all bank accounts, makes off with 1.2 million records

Infosec In Brief An unknown attacker accessed the French government’s database listing every bank account in the country and made off with 1.2 million records.

France’s Ministry of Economics, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty last week revealed the incident took place in January, after unknown attackers used stolen credentials to access the database.

The Ministry said the attacker's access was restricted immediately upon discovery of the attack, but that the miscreant still managed to access personal information about 1.2 million accounts, including account numbers, account holder’s addresses, and tax identification numbers.

France’s government has mobilized the agencies that fight this sort of incident, and warned account holders to be on the lookout for suspicious messages.
