The alleged breach, disclosed earlier this week, includes source code, internal invoices, client contracts, project blueprints, and user data, raising concerns about operational security and customer privacy. Orange Communication data breach was claimed by a threat actor using the pseudonym “Rey,” who was responsible for leaking 380,000 email records and sensitive corporate data on a dark web forum. While Orange works to verify the breach’s authenticity, cybersecurity firms are monitoring dark web channels for traces of the alleged data. Most notably, the threat actor asserted that 380,000 email addresses linked to Orange’s consumer and business accounts were extracted, though password hashes or payment details were not explicitly mentioned.

Independent audits revealed that the leak followed months of absence of major security updates to the company’s employee authentication portals. Regulatory bodies in the European Union have initiated preliminary inquiries, citing potential violations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to the hacker forums report, the leaked data spans multiple categories critical to Orange’s operations. Cybersecurity experts warn that exposed email addresses could fuel targeted phishing campaigns or credential-stuffing attacks across other platforms.
