The French mutual insurance group Aréas Assurances has suffered a data breach.
On 7 November 2026, a hacker operating under the alias “webshell” reportedly put the personal data of 21 732 policyholders up for sale on a cybercriminal forum. The compromised information includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and details relating to insurance policies and supplemental health coverage. Banking and medical records were not affected.
The incident comes amid a wave of cyberattacks targeting France’s insurance sector in recent weeks.
Other reported victims include Mutuelle Communale, ACF Assurances, and Malakoff Humanis.
