Data breach — High

On 22 October 2026, a user on a cybercriminal forum claimed to be offering for sale a database of more than 450,000 people linked to Ircantec, the supplementary pension scheme for non-tenured staff of the French State and public authorities. According to the listing, the database would contain full names, dates of birth (in some records), phone numbers, email addresses and postal addresses. The sample reviewed by FrenchBreaches contains records combining several of these fields, but it does not confirm the claimed volume or the origin of the data. Ircantec has not published any confirmation so far, and no intrusion into its systems has been established.

A combination of name, date of birth, address and contact details would allow a third party to prepare targeted scam attempts.

## Exposed data

- Full name
- Date of birth
- Phone number
- Email address
- 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.
