Pôle emploi, France's governmental unemployment registration and financial aid agency, is informing of a data breach that exposed data belonging to 10 million individuals.
Although the agency does not specify the number of impacted individuals, Le Parisien reports an estimate of 10 million people to be impacted.
This is based on the fact that 6 million people had registered in one of Pôle emploi's 900 job centers by February 2022, and another 4 million had done so in the previous 12 months prior to the attack, but their data hadn't been deleted from the agency's systems yet.
The exposed information includes full names and social security numbers, while email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, and banking data have not been affected by this data leak.
