On October 1, 2026, the French data protection authority, CNIL, and the national cybercrime reporting platform Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr released a new guide titled Personal Data Breach, What to Do in 3 Key Steps? as part of Cybermois 2026, France’s annual European Cybersecurity Month initiative. The guide aims to help individuals understand the proper steps to take if their personal data is compromised. It outlines actions to be taken from the moment a breach is discovered up to 30 days later, presented in a clear, step-by-step format that resembles a "to-do list." The resource is intended to help people manage the aftermath of a data breach and protect their personal information effectively. Throughout October 2026, Cybermois 2026 seeks to engage various cybersecurity actors across France to raise awareness about digital safety among the public, businesses, and local authorities. One of the highlights of the initiative is a national campaign titled Protect Yourself Online, It's Not That Stupid, which uses animals to promote good cybersecurity habits in a simple and engaging way. The campaign is being rolled out across France through newspaper vendors and France Services centers, with plans to adapt it into various fun formats that make digital security more accessible to a wide audience. The CyberTour de France will visit six cities—Biarritz, Rennes, Rouen, Lille, Montpellier, and Paris—to showcase local cybersecurity efforts and awareness initiatives organized by businesses and local authorities. These events are listed in the Cybermois Agenda, a public calendar that helps individuals find events happening near them. In addition to these city stops, awareness activities will take place at train stations under the operation The Digital, No Panic!, organized in partnership with Afnic (a French internet infrastructure organization). Events are scheduled for October 22 at Paris Gare de Lyon and October 29 in Rennes. All activities and events organized during Cybermois 2026 are listed in a public agenda, which is available online for individuals to find events in their area. The CNIL provides a range of resources for both the general public and professionals, including guidance on securing smartphones and applications, as well as other digital security tools and tips. These resources are designed to help people protect their personal data and improve their overall digital safety.
