Picard Data Breach Exposes 45,000 Customer Records

The frozen food retailer confirms a cyberattack that compromised personal information but not financial data.

  • Picard identified unauthorized access to customer accounts, affecting 45,000 members of its loyalty program.
  • The exposed data includes names, birthdates, contact information, and loyalty card details, but no banking information.
  • The breach is suspected to be a result of 'credential stuffing,' using previously stolen data to access accounts.
  • Picard has notified the French data protection authority, CNIL, and enhanced security measures to prevent further incidents.
  • This incident is part of a broader wave of cyberattacks targeting French companies in recent months.
