Pirate Lecornu's personal information after purchasing panties online

According to the French satire and news weekly, Le Canard Enchainé, personal data of the Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, ended up online following the use of his credit card to purchase briefs on the website of the well-known brand "Le Slip Français". According to the weekly, Lecornu was the victim, like one and a half million French people, of the hacking of the underwear brand which took place in 2024 and the prime minister's personal data ended up online. In particular, explains Canard, also his mobile number.

Furthermore, Canard adds that the personal data - mobile phones and credit cards - of as many as 25 government ministers ended up "in the depths of the Internet".

In fact, for the journalists who dealt with the investigation, it was enough - "even if we are not darknet experts", they underline - "to browse sites that had the brilliant idea of ​​collecting the data resulting from various hacks in recent times and exposing them to everyone's eyes". Canard thus managed to "find personal information on 70% of our ministers". Among these, the Minister of the Armed Forces, Catherine Vautrin, who saw her personal address published after her trusted optician was hacked. Not to mention Anne Le Hénanff, Minister of Digital and Artificial Intelligence, whose IBAN number and health card ended up on the Internet. The personal mobile number of the Minister of Labour, Jean-Pierre Farandou, became public after a data leak on Facebook, while two clicks are enough to access the personal data - and in particular the "username" used for work - of Stéphanie Rist, Minister of Health, a doctor by profession.
