A series of data breaches have impacted France's national education system, exposing the personal information of students and staff due to unauthorized access to their information systems. The academy of Créteil was the latest victim of a cyberattack, which took place at the end of July. The incident was confirmed on September 21 by a press release from the academy. According to the statement, the hackers accessed "student databases and the personnel directory" of the academy, affecting data related to the school years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. This included personal details such as names, dates of birth, national student identifiers (INE), email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, qualitative assessments, and grades. A judicial investigation into the breach is currently underway. Cyberattacks targeting the national education system have become more frequent in recent months. In March, a breach involving an external account led to the exposure of personal data belonging to 243,000 staff members, trainees, and permanent employees. In April, the ministry disclosed a data breach after unauthorized access to the EduConnect system, which holds student personal information. In July, another hacking incident resulted in the exposure of contact information for a "significant number" of staff members. This attack caused major disruptions in some institutions, forcing the suspension of access to computer tools and messaging systems, complicating the organization of the school year. The repeated breaches have raised concerns about the security of sensitive data within the education sector. These incidents highlight the vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure and the potential risks to individuals' privacy. Authorities are working to investigate the causes of these attacks and to strengthen protections against future breaches. The ongoing judicial investigations aim to identify those responsible and prevent similar incidents from occurring again. Efforts are being made to improve cybersecurity measures across the education system to safeguard personal information. The ministry has acknowledged the need for greater vigilance and has begun implementing new security protocols. These steps are intended to restore public confidence and ensure the protection of students' and staff members' data moving forward.
