Piratage des impôts : 678 000 contribuables exposés, et ce que cette fuite change pour les entreprises
La Direction générale des Finances publiques a confirmé le 13 août 2026 le vol de données fiscales concernant environ 678 000 particuliers et professionnels. L'attaquant n'a forcé aucune porte : il est entré avec l'identité d'un agent et celle d'un tiers habilité, puis a exfiltré au goutte-à-goutte pendant plusieurs semaines. Ce mode opératoire — compte légitime volé, sortie lente, aucun seuil de volume franchi — est exactement celui qui frappe aujourd'hui les entreprises françaises. Analyse des faits, de la réponse de l'État, et des parades réellement opérantes : surveillance darkweb, détection des identifiants volés par infostealer et corrélation SOC.
