Tens of millions of people affected?
France Travail announced this Wednesday that it had been targeted by a cyberattack: a massive hack affecting the former Pôle emploi but also the private organization Cap emploi in charge of supporting disabled workers, which occupies the same premises and shares data .
A black streak for the public operator already hit last August by a hacker attack: the data of 10 million registered unemployed and former job seekers had been sucked up via one of the two service providers responsible for digitization and data processing and sold on the darknet.
This time, according to France Travail, “the database which would have been illicitly extracted contains the personal identification data of people currently registered, people previously registered over the last twenty years as well as people not registered on the list job seekers but who have a candidate space on francetravail.fr”.
“It is therefore potentially the personal data of 43 million people which have been exfiltrated,” specifies the press release.
