Éducation nationale : un pirate annonce une fuite qui exposerait des millions de données

A French hacker, ZeroBytes, claims to have exfiltrated 43GB of sensitive educational data from the French Ministry of Education and related institutions. The data includes information on over 2 million students, encompassing personal details, academic records, and professional information, alongside accounts of teachers and administrative staff. The hacker gained access via a VPN and alleges the data spans from 2002 to 2026, posing a significant risk of targeted phishing campaigns and potential account compromise. The timing, just days before the start of the new school year, is particularly concerning.
