The enemy is coming from within. An ordinary man, 26 years old, who lives in his apartment in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne). There are thousands of computer engineers in France. In short, not all pirates are expected. Yet for months, Capgemini, the French IT giant, was suffering because of it.
The listed company is convinced that it has been held ransom by an “affiliate”, that is to say a Russian-speaking hacker capable of breaking into a company’s information system and hiding sensitive data and leave a note demanding money in exchange for a key to get everything back. But no, the hacker, who behaves like an affiliate, is part of the house. A unique case in the French history of cybercrime.
