  "description": "The Paris prosecutor's office is investigating a 15-year-old teenager accused of hacking the French identity issuance service (ANTS) and attempting to sell stolen personal data of millions of French citizens on dark web forums. The hacker, known as 'breach3d', is believed to have offered for sale 12 to 18 million lines of stolen data. The ANTS detected unusual network activity on April 13, 2026, and notified millions of French citizens nine days later about the breach, warning them to be cautious about unsolicited calls or emails. The teenager was arrested on April 25, 2026, and is held for questioning. Illegal access and theft of state-managed data carries penalties of up to 7 years imprisonment and fines up to 300,000 euros. This cyberattack raised concerns in France about the security risks of storing all citizen data in a central database.",
