Question 17880 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Antoine Villedieu draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the hacking of the impots.gouv.fr site which took place at the end of June 2026. This hacking, which was officially recognized by Bercy on August 13, 2026, was made possible by the theft of identifiers. On Wednesday August 12, 2026, a cybercriminal operating under the pseudonym ZeoBytes publicly claimed responsibility for the attack which concerns nearly 700,000 taxpayers. Despite the Government's announcements aimed at calming the situation and the declarations of policies carried out to combat cybercrime, it is clear that this is not the first attack of its kind which has achieved its objective. Indeed, the French tax administration has already been affected by major security incidents, particularly at the start of the year 2026. In January, a malicious actor usurped the access of a civil servant to break into the national bank account file, which caused the data leak of 1.2 million bank accounts, exposing the identities, addresses and RIB/IBAN of the holders. Added to this are automated attacks on the impots.gouv.fr site which have multiplied in recent years with hackers using lists of passwords stolen from other websites to force access to thousands of poorly protected taxpayer accounts. Thus, he asks him what measures he intends to take in order to urgently protect all taxpayers from these massive attacks which continue to multiply.
