Volume unspecified - data leak at French Free Flight Federation

On 24 March 2026, the French Free Flight Federation (Fédération Française de Vol Libre, FFVL) — the national governing body for paragliding, hang gliding, kite and related free-flight disciplines — was reported to have suffered a data leak affecting its licence holders. According to the breach tracker that disclosed the incident, published material established the existence of unauthorized access to member records.

The reporting points to unauthorized access to the federation's member database rather than a ransomware or extortion event. The exact intrusion method was not detailed in the available reporting.

The data exposed concerned FFVL member (licence-holder) records. Based on the available reporting, the affected information centred on:

• Member identity and licence records held by the federation

The number of affected licence holders was not specified, and no public statement from the federation or a regulator confirming the scale or response has been identified. The status of the incident is therefore unknown. Note: this event is distinct from the larger 2025–2026 campaign against other French sports federations attributed to the actor "TheFrenchGuy," which exploited a shared IT service provider and did not name the FFVL.
