France's Identity Agency Confirms Breach of Millions of Citizen Records

France's ANTS agency, which manages all national identity documents, confirmed a cyberattack detected April 15 that exposed personal data on potentially millions of citizens. Stolen information includes names, birthdates, addresses, and phone numbers—core identity elements used across French government services and European data-sharing frameworks. ANTS disclosed the breach seven days after detection. The investigation continues; notification timelines remain unclear.
