🇫🇷☄️ Massive Cyberattack Hits French Defense Sector: Naval Group Suffers Historic Data Breach

‼️ A major cybersecurity breach has struck the French defense industry, with Naval Group — France’s premier shipbuilding company — emerging as the primary target. The attack has also indirectly affected THALES, Dassault, and Safran systems.

🖥 According to initial reports: Over 13GB of internal data has already been leaked publicly. The total data dump exceeds 1TB in size

🔍 The leaked files reportedly include:

Full source code for the Combat Management Systems (CMS) used on French frigates and nuclear-powered submarines

Weapon system software

Simulation environments

Internal emails, user manuals, and network documentation

Restricted content related to aircraft, including the Rafale-M


❗️The hacker, using the alias "Neferpitou", gave Naval Group a 72-hour deadline to respond. When no agreement was reached, the entire data set was dumped online for free, suggesting the motive may not be financial but rather ideological or political.

❗️Naval Group has issued a brief statement saying it is investigating the incident, while experts are already beginning to verify the authenticity of the materials — many of which appear legitimate.
