AI Summary (NQ-processed)
France's National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) reported that data breaches hit a new record in 2025 with 6,167 incidents, a 9.5% increase from 2024. CNIL emphasized, "No one is safe." The worsening trend is attributed to the profitability of cyberattacks, as data is valuable, and their automation and industrialization driven by AI. This year, CNIL will significantly enhance cybersecurity controls and enforcement, especially targeting large databases. Last year, it issued record fines totaling €487 million, notably to Shein and Google.
