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)

Transparence Citoyenne announced that it was contesting before the administrative court of Paris the refusal of Gérard Larcher to provide the expense reports of the senators. The organization stated that it had sent its request to the president of the Senate in May, and then received a refusal in June. A new request sent to the Senate's ethics committee reportedly went unanswered. According to Transparence Citoyenne, Gérard Larcher justified his refusal by invoking a regime distinct from other administrations, the confidentiality provided by the internal regulations of the Senate, the status of senator — referring to a decision of the Council of State from 2019 — and the respect for the privacy of the senators. #Transparence #Justice #Sénat (translated)

Charles Alloncle stated that his book, *I Swear to Tell the Whole Truth*, published a week earlier, was number 2 in sales and had already been read by thousands of people. He claimed that France Télévisions and Radio France had refused, despite several requests, to give him airtime to discuss it. He attributed this refusal to a "boycott" and accused the two groups of wanting to hide the use of public money. He notably mentioned karaoke events costing 250 million euros, severance payments exceeding 500,000 euros, billions of euros in contracts made outside public procurement rules, as well as conflicts of interest and nights in luxury hotels at 1,700 euros. Alloncle also accused the media of spreading misleading information and discrediting him, and denounced pressures aimed, according to him, at silencing him, including withheld documents, judicial intimidation, and surveillance in Paris. He wrote that his six-month investigation had uncovered a system serving their interests and that his book described the methods and excesses involved. (translated)

Paul Vannier stated that a new municipal election for an LFI town hall had been canceled in Rhône, this time in Saint-Fons. He argued that the Insoumis had followed the rules, that the prefecture had acted unjustly, and that a competing list had committed fraud, while the victorious elected officials and the residents were suffering the consequences. He questioned why these cancellations only concerned LFI town halls and what instructions had been given in Rhône, and announced an appeal. #LFI #élections #Rhône (translated)
