Data of 39 million French people are on sale on the Dark Web
A hacker has managed to obtain personal data of 39 million French people and puts it on sale on the Dark Web.It seems that the data comes from several sources and not from a single.
Zataz explains that the hacker sells the 39 million French data on a few forums, in addition to the Dark Web.Damien Bancal, founder of the site, managed to get in touch with the pirate by pretending to be a potential buyer and thus obtain a free sample.The sample in question includes 100,000 elements.
Among the data, we find the names, first names, postal addresses, phone number, email addresses and more.Those present come from all over France.The sample notably contains the data of inhabitants of Marseille, Lyon, Paris, Gerzat, Ussel or Le Bourget.There is also French Polynesia with Tahiti in the Lot.
A surprising element in the list is the appearance of a "real money" column (real money).This term is used for some uses, including casino sites.You can also see it in relation to cryptocurrency sites.
It will therefore be necessary to pay attention to future emails, calls and SMS.This database could fall into bad hands and the buyer could try to trap each French in the list.
