Bouygues Telecom, one of France's largest telecommunications companies, discovered a cyberattack on August 4 that compromised personal information of 6.4 million customers. Hackers accessed contact details, contract data, and bank account numbers for both individual and business customers.

The company assured customers that passwords and payment card information weren't compromised. Affected customers are being notified by email and text, with warnings to watch for fraudulent communications.

This follows another recent attack on French telecom Orange in July, highlighting the sector's vulnerability to cybercriminals.
