The French postal service La Poste, which owns the service for the organization of electronic mailings Maileva, was the victim of a cyber attack. The incident may have compromised 22 million people. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), this was reported in the company La Poste.

Unauthorized penetration into the information system was recorded in mid-September. Attackers managed to obtain the names and email addresses of 22 million recipients who were sent via the Maileva platform. This service serves about 70 thousand corporate clients, and only during 2024 180 million different documents were sent through it.

La Poste said it had already sent formal notice of the incident to the French National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties (CNIL). In addition, the postal operator made a statement to the prosecutor's office and promptly notified all organizations affected by the leak.
