Security News > 2024 > March > 43 million workers potentially affected in France Travail data breach
French national unemployment agency France Travail and Cap emploi, a government employment service for people with disabilities, have suffered a data breach that might have exposed personal data of 43 million people.
The agencies announced on Wednesday that an intrusion exposed data of jobseekers registered in the last 20 years, as well as those with a candidate profile on the sites.
France Travail noted that passwords and banking details are not affected, but advises users to stay vigilant to possible phishing attempts, fraud or identity theft.
Affected users will be informed about the incident via email or through their personal profile on the site.
This is not France Travail's first data breach.
Last August, the agency suffered a data breach that affected approximately 10 million people.
