YOUR TAX DATA ISN’T JUST DATA.
France's DGFiP confirmed an unauthorized access in late June after an identity impersonation.
Data concerning individuals and businesses was accessed and extracted. The investigation is still ongoing.
Attackers claim 678,438 records were taken, including names, addresses, tax IDs and financial information but the DGFiP has not confirmed these figures.
If even part of that data is real, this isn't just about spam.
Identity + address + financial information = a powerful tool for phishing, social engineering and identity theft.
