The agency detected suspicious activity on its network on April 13th and notified authorities on April 16th, according to the Paris Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation revealed that the suspect, allegedly operating under the moniker 'breach3d', attempted to sell between 12 and 18 million records obtained from the **ANTS** data breach. The minor faces serious charges, including unauthorized access, persistence, and data exfiltration from a state-run automated personal data processing system, as well as possession of software enabling these offenses. The potential penalty includes a maximum of seven years in prison and a fine of EUR 300,000, as stated by the Paris Prosecutor’s Office.
