The CNIL fined Free Mobile and parent Free €42 million after an October 2024 breach exposed personal data of nearly 23 million subscribers—attackers accessed the company management tool and sold records (including IBANs for ~25% of affected users) on a hacker forum; CNIL found GDPR violations (weak remote access controls, inadequate breach notifications, excessive data retention) and ordered corrective actions, with the report noting subsequent telecom breaches in 2025.
