SaxX reported that a hacker had accessed the Danish central registry of persons, the CPR, and retrieved data associated with about 8.8 million identification numbers. According to him, these concerned living people, deceased individuals, or those who had gone abroad, and included names, addresses, and personal numbers. The author clarified that the intrusion did not directly target the Danish state, but Pays ApS, an IT company in Odense that had legal access to the registry to verify its clients' files. He indicated that the company had only two employees. Citing the newspaper Politiken, he wrote that at least three of its accounts used the password "123456", including that of the administrator. According to SaxX's account, the hacker allegedly used a leaked password from a former employee, maintained access for 21 days and 17 hours, and carried out about 14 million automated searches between September 10 and 20. The hacker also claimed that his data recovery program had been written by an AI, that he had no particular technical skills, and that he did not intend to sell or publish the data. SaxX stated that the intrusion was only discovered on October 2, after an official noticed an abnormally high bill, as searches in the registry are paid. He added that the Minister of Digital Affairs had described the incident as "deeply serious." The author also reported that the number of citizens who activated a credit fraud alert had risen from about 250,000 to nearly 970,000 in one week. According to him, the CPR had then reminded the security rules to 1,039 companies that had access to the registry, including banks, telecom operators, law firms, unions, and insurers. Finally, SaxX estimated that the incident demonstrated the risks associated with access granted to private providers, as several African states digitized their civil registries. #Cybersécurité #Hacking #Danemark (translated)

SaxX stated that a cyberattack targeting Danfoss regulatory systems affected around 500 supermarkets in France during the night of October 11 to 12, including Intermarché, Netto, Coopérative U, Market, Monoprix, and Leclerc stores. According to him, the attackers forced the defrosting of equipment, with instructions reaching up to 50 °C. Two stores in Alsace alone reportedly recorded losses of 270,000 euros. Relying on information from a cyber official of a major brand, SaxX indicated that the vulnerability concerned three types of equipment and had been known since July, without clients being informed. Only one of the three types had a patch, which needed to be installed manually by refrigerant technicians, store by store. He added that the connected refrigerators used 3G cards installed by technicians, outside of the network and control of the brand's IT teams. The equipment would have been shut down, and the stores would have switched to manual mode, with a return to operation expected within the day, while the application of the patch would take longer. According to SaxX's analysis, the targeted versions were earlier than version 4. He reminded that Danfoss had fixed an authentication bypass vulnerability in version R4.2 related to passwords generated from the date and time. If these elements were confirmed, he estimated, it would not be a “zero-day” vulnerability, but rather a delay in updating. He also noted that Shodan still listed more than 3,700 Danfoss interfaces accessible from the Internet in August. SaxX said that France seemed to be the only country affected for the moment. He mentioned possible explanations such as the size of the French Danfoss park, a common provider or access channel, or deliberate targeting, while clarifying that nothing was established. He finally reported that his contact feared that other organizations might be more affected, particularly those whose activities relied mainly on frozen products. SaxX also indicated that he intervened at midday on TF1’s newscast to talk about the attack and possible motivations of the state group or hackers. #cyberattaque #sécuritéinformatique #France (translated)

Dividend King described a climate he deemed particularly negative in France. He wrote that the entrepreneurs he knew were considering leaving, although many, in his view, would not follow through. He also indicated that the tax advisors and wealth managers he spoke with received numerous requests for expatriation from their clients, a trend that had supposedly increased since the dissolution of the Assembly and would accelerate as the presidential election approached. He specified that these clients held fortunes in the range of 7, 8, or 9 figures. The author added that many university students he had recently discussed with wanted to start their professional lives abroad, even if not all would realize this project. In the stock market, he estimated that French investors were increasingly turning away from companies in the CAC 40 in favor of global or American markets, and that the recent performance of these markets justified their decisions. He finally said he had never observed, in his lifetime, such a negative sentiment at so many levels and expected the trend to continue. #entrepreneuriat #expatriation #france (translated)
