Data breach at French telecom giant Bouygues affects millions of customers


This is the latest cyberattack to hit a French cellular carrier in recent weeks, following an attack on Orange Telecom in July.

Bouygues Telecom, the third-largest phone carrier in France, has confirmed a cyberattack and data breach affecting millions of its customers. In a statement posted to its website, the telecommunications giant said the hack allowed the intruders to access the personal information on 6.4 million customer accounts. A spokesperson for Bouygues did not immediately respond to a request for comment asking for details about the cyberattack, or explain why the page was hidden from search engines.
