# ASCOR

Data breach — Moderate

ASCOR, a French distance-learning training organisation, notified affected people of unauthorised access to a data analytics tool hosted and administered by an external IT provider. The intrusion took place between 18 and 24 August 2026, and the organisation says it was informed on 5 October 2026. Names, email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses may have been viewed and extracted; the number of people affected has not been disclosed. The organisation states it has filed a complaint and notified the CNIL, and its checks are continuing. The notice does not mention bank data, passwords or identity documents as affected.

These contact details let a malicious third party reach the people directly and craft credible phishing messages referring to a training course or earlier exchanges with the organisation.

## Exposed data

- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Postal address

## 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.
