French PM Lecornu convenes crisis meeting after tax agency cyberattack compromised 678K accounts
↗
A cyberattack on France's tax agency during June and July compromised 678K individual and business accounts, and PM Lecornu will hold a crisis meeting Monday to coordinate the government's response.
A national tax authority holds sensitive financial and personal data on virtually all residents and businesses, making a breach at this scale a systemic risk. The convening of a crisis meeting by the PM signals the incident exceeds normal incident-response capacity and may lead to policy or security overhauls.
