Data Breach at La Poste Subsidiary Maileva Affects 22 Million People in France
Summary: Maileva, a La Poste subsidiary that prints and mails documents for client companies, was breached in mid-September, exposing the first names, last names and postal addresses of 22 million people in France. The affected individuals are recipients of Maileva's client companies rather than its customers, and Maileva says bank details were not compromised, has notified the CNIL and filed a criminal complaint.
Why it matters: The 22 million people exposed had no direct relationship with Maileva - they were patients, tenants and payees whose data reached the company through clients like social housing providers and medical billing subcontractors, and whether those organizations now tell their own patients and tenants is a separate question.
