On 13 February 2025, Mutuelle des Motards — France's mutual insurer dedicated to motorcyclists (Assurance Mutuelle des Motards) — disclosed a data breach affecting more than 1.3 million members. The insurer detected the incident around 10 February 2025, after data was put up for sale on a cybercrime forum by an attacker using the alias "Lanvin," a then-little-known actor also linked to a breach of the Taobento restaurant chain.
According to the insurer's statement to members, an unauthorized third party gained access to a marketing contact-management tool holding members' contact details. The exposed records contained personal contact information but, per the company, no passwords, banking details, postal addresses or dates of birth.
Data exposed included:
- First and last name
- Email address (provided for a subset of members)
- Phone number
- Postal code
Mutuelle des Motards notified the French data-protection authority (CNIL) and the insurance regulator (ACPR), and informed the affected individuals it was able to identify. The insurer warned members of the heightened risk of phishing, fraudulent calls and identity theft stemming from the exposed contact data.
