In a tsunami of data leaks, French society remains vulnerable and authorities powerless
France is facing an unprecedented surge in data breaches, with a record number reported in recent years. Despite the increasing frequency and scale of these incidents, cybersecurity measures in both public and private sectors remain insufficient. Authorities are struggling to keep up with the rising tide of data leaks, leading to a significant increase in investigations.
- ▪The National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties (CNIL) reported 6,167 data breaches in the last year, marking a 10% increase from the previous year.
- ▪Approximately half of these breaches were due to hacking, with many affecting over one million individuals.
- ▪The Paris prosecutor's office has seen an 'explosion' in investigations related to data breaches, sometimes opening as many as 10 cases per week.
