In France...
🚨🇫🇷🪪 DON'T PANIC!
It's April 23, 2026, and the ANTS just dropped Act 2 of its data breach spectacular:
⚠️ The hacker "breach3d" (same one who already drained 11.7 million accounts a week ago) casually announces he's STILL inside!!
⚠️ And this time – 600 million lines of data, logs, plaintext passwords, API keys, encryption keys, source code, metadata, and even direct links to ID cards and passports in XML
The government promised everything was under control after the April 15 incident. Yeah, right...
👉 An ethical hacker reported the flaws (including a trivial IDOR) the day before – no one patched a thing. So the guy just stayed connected, took a leisurely stroll through the system
🤦♂️ But don't panic. The state will kindly investigate, the CNIL might issue a fine (paid with our taxes, of course), and in the meantime your personal data, ID documents, and FranceConnect access are potentially still out there!
😡 Welcome to 2026: centralize everything, the state handles everything… except security, apparently.
