# Groupe Adéquat

Data breach — Moderate

Groupe Adéquat, a staffing and recruitment company, notified candidates who had used its jobadequat.fr website of a security incident. Unauthorized access to the site was identified between April 24 and July 22, 2026, following the exploitation of a vulnerability on a server managed by a technical service provider. Names, email addresses, phone numbers, and the content of applications and messages exchanged through the site may have been accessed. The company states it cannot confirm whether this data was actually consulted or used, and notes that no banking data is affected.

The exposed contact details and application content could be used to target affected individuals with fake job offers or fraudulent messages impersonating the group.

## Exposed data

- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Employment data

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
