A cyberattack hit the national network of local missions. Personal data was stolen by the hacker.
The Ministry of Labor and Employment revealed on October 31 that a service provider associated with local missions was targeted by a cyberattack. This incident affected the national network of local missions, compromising the security of sensitive data.
Cyberattacks: when humans are the weak link
With U-Cyber 360°, the French company Mailinblack allows you to protect your organization and educate your employees in cybersecurity.
From the password manager to email security, continuing training and attack simulations, this solution brings together all the tools to prevent cyber risks.
Initial analyzes indicate that personal information was exfiltrated. The hacker allegedly stole files containing names, first names, telephone numbers, email and postal addresses.
The persons concerned will be informed in accordance with the rules of the CNIL. Remember that local missions offer specific employment and training solutions to young people not enrolled in educational establishments.
Be vigilant about phishing emails
Young people’s data has been particularly exposed recently with cyberattacks against the universal national service and Paris-Sorbonne University.
People affected by this leak should be particularly vigilant regarding attempts at phishing and identity theft. Always check the recipient’s email address as well as the domain name of the site. The simplest thing, if you have any doubt, is to never click and to contact the alleged author of the email directly by telephone or by logging into your account in the traditional way.
