France confirms government ID agency data breach

France's national agency for secure documents (ANTS) has confirmed a significant data breach affecting citizens' identity information. The compromised data may include full names, birth details, addresses, and phone numbers for an unknown number of individuals. The agency detected the breach on April 15, and an investigation is underway to determine the full scope and impact. Reports suggest millions of records could have been stolen, with a hacker already advertising the data on a dark web forum.
