- France's Service National Universel (SNU) faces another claimed data breach: hacker LunarisSec says an IDOR (broken access control) flaw exposed 275,000 accounts — 270,000 platform accounts plus 5,000 accounts of partner-structure leads.
- Exposed data includes names, emails, and phone numbers, touching people linked to associations, municipalities, city halls, and fire services (SDIS). It comes three years after a 2023 breach affecting 150,000 people.
- Commenter IgorCarron calls the amateurish security failure striking at a time when LLMs are reshaping cybersecurity, quipping that switching to Mistral is not the answer.
