A cyberattack on France's Agence nationale des titres sécurisés, or ANTS (the government body responsible for issuing passports, national identity cards, residence permits, and driving licences), has compromised the personal data of approximately 11.7 million user accounts, the Interior Ministry announced on 21 April. The breach, detected on 15 April, exposed identifying information including names, email addresses, and dates of birth, though authorities say the leaked data cannot be used to gain unauthorised access to individual accounts, and that biometric data and document attachments were not affected. France's anti-cybercrime office, OFAC, has been tasked with the investigation, while Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has also ordered an administrative inquiry to establish accountability for what the ministry described as a "serious incident."
