22 Jan 2026 France TravailCNIL: 5 million EUR against France Travail after social engineering attack FranceData breaches and data security €5m

In early 2024, attackers used social engineering to take over accounts of Cap Emploi advisers and accessed data on jobseekers from the last 20 years, including social security numbers. The French data protection authority (CNIL) criticised weak authentication, insufficient logging and overly broad access rights, and imposed 5 million EUR together with an order carrying a penalty payment of 5,000 EUR per day of delay.

What organisations can take from it

Accounts of external partners with extensive data access need strong authentication, narrow rights and anomaly detection – and their users need training against social engineering.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
