On August 14, an official statement announced the hacking of the French
Public Finances Directorate (DGFIP), resulting in the theft of data
belonging to 678,000 individuals and professionals. A few days later,
the hacking of two other files was confirmed: the first concerning land
registries, the second concerning inheritance records. This cyberattack
has been described as "the most serious in our country's history." ---
On August 14, an official statement announced the hacking of the French

described as "the most serious in our country's history."
A predictable result of the ongoing weakening of public services.
Certainly, IT projects are piling up, but solely to increase
productivity and reduce staff. Cybersecurity, on the other hand, doesn't
allow for staff reductions; the choice is clear.
The immediate consequences will likely be a surge in scams exploiting
the contents of files. Then, the issue will undoubtedly fuel the debates
of the upcoming presidential election. It doesn't take a fortune teller
to predict that most candidates will advocate for privatization,
replicating the well-established strategy of dismantling a public
service so that, once it malfunctions, they can justify handing its
mission over to capitalists.
While libertarians might welcome such an attack on the state, the
reality is that, in a period where the far right is in a position of
strength, this type of destabilization of a collective structure, even a
state one, risks primarily serving individualistic rhetoric and further
eroding trust in the collective.
