Risky Bulletin: BEC campaign steals €35 million from French notaries

Hackers stole over €35 million from 500+ French notary offices in a four-year BEC campaign; ANSSI spent two years helping evict the attackers.

A business email compromise campaign breached more than 500 French notary offices — about 7% of all French notaries per the Conseil Supérieur du Notariat — over four years, stealing more than €35 million by phishing initial access and silently modifying wire transfer details. France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI worked for two years behind the scenes to help notaries remove the persistent attackers, who had deep access; officials also feared hackers could issue fake notarized acts such as marriage certificates or forged real estate deals. No forged documents have been found so far, but notaries have added two-factor authentication and in-person requirements for banking details, and banks added extra checks in 2024. The newsletter also notes other incidents, including a $320 million Bitcoin extraction from Blockstream's Liquid Network and a JetBrains Cadence breach via TeamCity servers.

France’s tax authority admits hackers made off with data on 678,000 individuals

An attacker used stolen credentials and an MFA bypass to steal tax data on 678,000 individuals from France's tax authority DGFiP.

France's General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) disclosed that intrusions into its portals exposed tax data, including reference tax income, family quotient, withholding tax rate, and business identifiers such as company name and SIREN number, on 678,000 individuals and professionals. An attacker using the alias 'ZeroBytes' claimed credit on a cybercrime forum and offered a stolen database for sale, claiming the portal contains data on roughly 20 million citizens. DGFiP suspended the affected accounts, notified the CNIL, and is working with ANSSI and the finance ministry's security office; it said the main online tax portals and their login credentials were not compromised.
