French authorities announced that a database containing sensitive information on 1.2 million bank accounts had been compromised.
The Ministry of Economy announced last month that an unauthorized entity had accessed the nationwide bank account database FICOBA.
“Once this incident was detected, access restrictions were immediately implemented to thwart the attack and limit the amount of data that could be accessed and extracted from this database… Work is underway to restore service with optimal security. ”
The intruders disguised government employee credentials and accessed information such as bank codes such as RIB and IBAN, account holder addresses, and taxpayer identifiers.
Affected users will receive personal notifications soon, and banks are being asked to warn their customers to be careful.
“There are numerous scams out there via email and SMS that aim to obtain information or payments from users. These scams are currently affecting all users, both individuals and businesses. If in doubt, we recommend that you do not respond directly…
If you suspect unauthorized use of your personal data, we recommend that you retain all evidence (messages, website addresses, screenshots, etc.). ”
