Eurofiber’s Data Drama: Cybercriminals Swipe French Telco’s Info, But Customer Services Stay Afloat
In a classic case of “Oops, my data!”, Eurofiber admits cybercriminals swiped company data in a November 13 attack. Fortunately, only its French operations were hit. Meanwhile, customer-facing services remained “fully operational”—because who needs sleep when you have cybersecurity incidents to manage?
Hot Take:
Looks like Eurofiber just got fiber-optically spooked by some cybercriminals! While their customers in France were left clutching their modems in fear, the rest of Europe can sit back and enjoy their croissants without breaking a sweat. Maybe it’s time for Eurofiber to consider some high-speed upgrades to their security measures!
Key Points:
- Eurofiber’s French business, including its cloud division, got tangled in a cyberattack.
- Data was stolen via a vulnerability in their ticket management platform, but no critical data like banking details were compromised.
- Eurofiber patched the vulnerability and took additional security measures post-attack.
- While the impact was limited, some internal systems and partners faced operational disruptions.
- Eurofiber reported the incident to French cybersecurity agencies amid suspicions of a data ransom attempt.
