Fresh Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Information of French Amusement Park Bol D’Air on BreachForum.

Currently, we are unable to accurately confirm the veracity of the breach, as no press release has been issued on the official website regarding the incident. Therefore, this article should be used as an “intelligence source.”

New BreachForum User xHana Leaks Sensitive Data of 70,000 Users for free. Email, phone number, address, password, VAT number and date of birth among other data have been published. The perpetrator of the breach did not disclose any information about how the attack was carried out. They simply announced the date on which the database was dumped, which was this June 30th.

USER-LEVEL MITIGATIONS

When using platforms in ex-temporaneous hands or for registrations such as those required by Bol d’Air we recommend :

1. Use an email protection service (such as the one offered by DuckDuckGo) to enter a “decoy” email address that is different from your original email address. Alternatively, you can enter a secondary email address that is not connected to your work, personal, or daily activities.
2. Avoid using your real name and other personal information unless it is strictly necessary and/or required.
3. Do not reuse passwords that you have already used for other accounts. Obviously, follow standard password guidelines for each password.
4. Do not underestimate the publication of data like this. Any piece of information about a person can be used for targeted attacks or identity theft.
