According to the company, the intrusion took place during the night of 12–13 October and led to a partial copy of the personal data held in its customer database.
The breach exposed personal contact details only. Guy Demarle stated that login credentials, passwords and banking information were not affected by the incident.
Exposed data categories:
- Last name and first name
- Postal address

Guy Demarle said it acted immediately to end the intrusion and notified France's data protection authority, the CNIL, as required by law. The company warned affected customers to be alert to phishing emails and fraudulent SMS messages, to avoid clicking suspicious links, and to enable two-factor authentication where possible. No exact count of affected customers was publicly disclosed.
