Record mega breach in France impacts up to 43 million people
Zut alors! Department for registering and helping unemployed people broken into
Your average person wouldn't know phishing attempts even if the people who were phishing literally said they were phishing.
9Especially in French. "Vous voulez mes identifiants pour une opération de phishing? Mais c'est quoi, exactement, votre "fi chain je" là? Je comprends rien... Vous pouvez pas le faire pour moi?? Moi j'y comprends rien. Attendez, bougez pas, je vous donne mon mot de passe, ça sera plus simple. OK?"

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A French government department - responsible for registering and assisting unemployed people - is the latest victim of a mega data breach that compromised the information of up to 43 million citizens.
French citizens are urged to remain on heightened alert and vigilant to any phishing attempts in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Faced with the threat of cyberattacks which increasingly weighs on companies and organizations at national and European levels, we must continually strengthen our protection systems, procedures, and instructions," it said.
Yann Padova, a data protection lawyer and former secretary general at the CNIL, told Franceinfo at the time that he believed the incident to be the largest of its kind in France.
Local media reported on Monday that Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's Office said the attacks were of "unprecedented intensity" but were ultimately contained.
Perhaps just a coincidence, the attacks also came just days after France President Emmanuel Macron publicly reaffirmed the country's unwavering support for Kyiv in the war against Ukraine.
