A BreachForums post claimed stolen data from France's Ministry of the Interior, alleging exposure of information on 16,444,373 people. The poster said the material came from France's police records and files and threatened release if negotiations did not happen. French authorities have not confirmed the theft, so the event remains a large-scale alleged leak rather than a verified public disclosure.
