Association des scouts de France
CriticalReportedNonprofits
On 8 October 2026, a threat actor claimed to hold a database attributed to a French scouting association, with about 71,000 records. The published samples reportedly contain names, addresses, dates of birth, legal guardians' contact details, membership histories, training registrations and administrative authorisations. Minors may be among those affected. The origin of the data, its authenticity and the actual number of distinct individuals remain to be established, and the name used in the claim does not allow it to be attributed with certainty to the current Scouts et Guides de France association.
Linking a minor to their address and their parents' contact details could be used for targeted phishing or identity fraud attempts.

You are only affected if you had an account or an order with this organisation.
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.
- These documents enable identity theft, and cannot be reissued at will. Keep the notification letter: it proves where the leak came from if an account is opened in your name.
- Health data is “special category” data under the GDPR: a leak opens a right to compensation, and the organisation must notify the DPA within 72 hours.
- 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.
