The operators Free and SFR were victims of massive hacking. In the case of Free, it was customers’ banking information that was disclosed. And many of you are concerned.
Problems with client file hacking are unfortunately commonplace. We regularly learn that this or that shopping site has been hacked and that malicious people have obtained a large list of names associated with emails.

Free’s case was significantly more severe. The leak already concerns nearly 20 million subscriber accounts. A huge number. Above all, this time it was the banking data, the IBANs, which were concerned.
In September, it was the operator in the red square, SFR, who was hacked.
