ANOTHER ATTACK AGAINST A FRENCH PUBLIC AGENCY
On May 6, 2026, the Civic Service Agency – the public body responsible for implementing and overseeing the National civic service – was informed of a cybersecurity incident affecting its training platform, managed by contractors holding corresponding contracts. Personal data was exposed. This comes after the attack against the Agency in charge of issuing legal ID documents, the one against France Travail ( unemployment management Agency) …
ALMERYS ONCE MORE HACKED
ALMERYS is an IT service company which provides data and files transfer facilities to companies active in the health domain, such as insurers. Two years ago, hackers succeeded to compromise Almerys, and hence to capture health related data from millions of patients. It seems that the story repeats now, as the insurer ALAN, and other colleagues, have noticed another data leak., which seems to concern reimbursements on audio and optical treatments. Even if this data leak may be less important that two years ago, it seems difficult to understand that a key supply chain piece remains so vulnerable.
TYREX CYBER WILL MANUFACTURE ITS DEVICES IN QUEBEC

IRAN CYBERATTACKS EXPOSED
On March 16, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) suffered a cyberattack resulting in some services being disrupted.

GOOGLE TO PROPOSE A CYBERSECURITY SYSTEM
In recent years, Google has acquired two important cybersecurity vendors: MANDIANT and WIZ. It now wants to combine these with its own AI capacity to detect vulnerabilities. However, Google seems to follow a track different from other AI providers, in that sense that it wants to combine AI and “classical” cyber shields. In detail, the platform is therefore based on four main stages: preparation, analysis, remediation, and continuous monitoring. Specifically, Google promises to map exposed assets, identify potential attack paths, verify the actual exploitability of vulnerabilities, and then generate patches before their deployment. Google claims a specificity: not relying on any single model. While its competitors push their own family of models, Google believes that none of them alone detects all flaws. AI Threat Defense thus orchestrates several: lightweight models for continuous monitoring and advanced models for the most sensitive assets, in order to control costs.
A posture mixing AI capacity and threat detection systems might be inspiring at European level.
MOKN SECURES A 15 M€ FUNDING, BY GOOGLE VENTURES AND OTHERS
MoKN, a French start up, fights stolen credentials. The company deploys fake access points replicating the user’s environment. When an attacker tries to use stolen credentials on these fake systems, the security teams are immediately alerted and can reset the compromised access before any real intrusion. Yet to see if this promising technology will remain European …
