Summary

Hide ▲

Hôpital privé de la Loire suffered a data breach after an attacker accessed its electronic patient record system and extracted sensitive data tied to more than 727,000 people. The compromise exposed patient-related information and records connected to people who received care at the hospital or assisted patients there. It became a large-scale privacy incident because the intrusion reached core medical records and remained undetected long enough for data to be removed.

    CNIL fines Hôpital privé de la Loire €500,000 after summer 2025 patient data breach

    Legal Policy Action Update

    France’s data protection authority CNIL fined Hôpital privé de la Loire €500,000 ($580,000) for failing to adequately protect patients’ and relatives’ data after a summer 2025 breach exposed sensitive information for 524,867 patients and 202,246 trusted third parties. CNIL also said external users could access the hospital’s electronic patient record system without a VPN or multi-factor authentication, a compromised account could reach records for all hospital patients, and the attacker extracted data over several days without real-time or near-real-time detection.
