France’s Telecom Troubles: Bouygues Breach Exposes 6.4 Million Customers’ Data!
Bouygues Telecom has been hit by a cyber-attack, compromising the personal data of 6.4 million customers. Hackers accessed contact details and IBANs but missed credit card numbers. Impacted customers should brace for potential scams, as fraudsters might pose as the telecom giant with one mission: to nab your precious secret codes. Stay vigilant!

Oh la la, Bouygues! Looks like French telecommunications have entered the ‘cyber-sécurité’ reality show. And trust us, no one wants their personal data to be the star of this drama. At this point, it seems like telecoms are the new hot target for cyber bandits. Maybe Bouygues should start offering a complimentary cybersecurity class with every subscription, because this is beginning to sound like a bad episode of “Hackers Gone Wild.” Just remember, Bouygues, when life gives you lemons, make sure they’re not cyber ones!
