Cybercriminal Arrested In Vendée For Data Breaches
A 21-year-old cybercriminal identified as X-dex was arrested in Vendée last week. The individual allegedly hacked data from the French National Education system and several sports federations. A police note obtained by Agence France-Presse suggests the attacker sought media attention. Experts noted that cybercriminals often sell the stolen data for profit. The report also highlighted concerns that the government is not investing sufficiently in IT security. The motive for the hacking was reportedly a sense of exhilaration, according to Agence France-Presse.
