Your Personal Information May Have Been Affected by a Data Security Incident Involving STIIIZY Inc.

  • The INSEE, France's national statistics department, announced on June 19 that a cyberattack exposed personal data belonging to about 12,800 current and former staff members.
  • Data stolen from the internal directory "trombi.insee.fr" consisted of names and professional contact details; passwords, bank details, and social-security numbers were not compromised.
  • A user operating under the alias "Saturne" reportedly posted the database on a cybercriminal forum, suggesting an opportunistic grab rather than a targeted operation.
  • Analysts cite chronic underinvestment in cybersecurity and social-engineering attacks as vulnerabilities, with breaches affecting the Interior Ministry, the national agency for secure documents, and the government messaging platform Tchap.
  • Paris is pushing for digital sovereignty, including an order for government ministries to migrate from Windows to Linux, responding to recurring cyberattacks throughout 2026.
