Orange SA, one of the world’s leading telecommunications providers, suffered a major cybersecurity breach that exposed approximately 4 gigabytes of sensitive business-related data.
The company detected the intrusion in late July and immediately reported it to national authorities.
While not the largest breach in sheer volume, the incident poses a significant risk due to the business-critical nature of the compromised data.
The leaked files were posted on the dark web, prompting immediate cooperation from Orange with relevant agencies to manage the fallout and reinforce safeguards.
This breach underscores the growing cybersecurity challenges facing global tech and telecom players, highlighting the imperative for more resilient systems and proactive defense strategies against increasingly sophisticated digital threats.
