Less than a week after the data theft of nearly 700,000 taxpayers, the Public Finance Branch has announced cybersecurity incidents on two new types of data: cadastres and vacant estates.
Affected by two new attacks, the Directorate of Public Finance confirms the compromise of 1.8 million cadastral files, while minimizing the sensitivity of the stolen data.
A "third leak" concerning estate-related data has been identified, the Director General of Public Finance announced on Tuesday. This "shortcoming" regarding estate-related data has since been "cut off". The government has presented its "apologies".
The DGFiP is facing a third security alert in a few days. After incidents involving impots.gouv.fr and cadastral data, a vulnerability would have allowed access without authentication to millions of personal and property data related to vacant estates. The DGFiP article: after taxes and cadastre, a flaw struck the estates first appeared on Cryptoast.
