Free, France’s second largest ISP, confirms data breach after leak

Free, a major internet service provider (ISP) in France, confirmed over the weekend that hackers breached its systems and stole customer personal information.

The company, which says it had over 22.9 million mobile and fixed subscribers at the end of June, is the second-largest telecommunications company in France and a subsidiary of the Iliad Group, Europe's sixth-largest mobile operator by number of subscribers.

Free has since filed a criminal complaint with the public prosecutor and notified the French National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties (CNIL) and the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI) of the incident.
