THE ECO + Personal data leaks are increasing in France. Faced with this wave of cyberattacks, Le Figaro gives you the keys to staying in control of your online information.
Clinics, high schools, complementary health insurance, construction companies… no one is spared from cyberattacks. Not a week goes by without a new vulnerability being found by hackers to infect the network of a company or institution. Sometimes, our personal data is even held hostage against the payment of a ransom. In 2023, the National Information Systems Security Agency (Anssi) recorded 143 reports of ransomware attacks compared to 109 in 2022. On the specific side, the site Cybermalveillance.gouv received 2,782 requests for assistance for this type of attack in 2023. A record level for 4 years, all audiences combined (+12%). In February 2024, the data of 30 million French people was stolen from Almerys and Viamedis, two third-party payment operators.

Faced with this increasingly present threat, how can you limit the risks and protect your data? How to react if they have been hacked? Le Figaro takes stock of the actions to adopt.
