This is the most worrying leak for JDC readers, and also the most vague. On Saturday October 24, the hacker behind ChimeraZ announced a database of 905,097 lines linking license plates to their owners.

According to the analysis of the samples published by FrenchBreaches, each file associates a plaque with a name, a first name, a postal address, an e-mail and a telephone number, most often mobile. The hacker claims 847,064 distinct plates, 506,003 emails and 474,906 numbers.

Neither the SIV nor the ANTS are involved at this stage. ChimeraZ claims to have siphoned off a “vulnerable website” whose name it withholds, and no organization has reacted publicly. It also evokes a second base of two million plates. Nothing proves it.

The same October 24, ChimeraZ broadcast for free 1,270,096 lines presented as coming from lafranceinsoumise.fr. The bulk of the file aligns around 1.1 million address points in the National Address Base format, therefore public, linked to 87 campaigns.

The rest is more sensitive. Cyberattack.org counted 12,959 door-to-door operations conducted through October 21, and some 5,000 separate phone numbers and 911 emails from event organizers. The residents encountered at the gates are not named.

Manuel Bompard assured on X that no personal data of members had been leaked beyond that already public. LFI has not confirmed any intrusion.

On the Macronist side, the hacker claims 4,157,404 door-to-door lines, 373,906 addresses with GPS coordinates and 1,547 profiles of people linked to the party. The 9.6 million voter counter is a statistic attached to places, without any name.

The party denies this. According to HuffPost, Renaissance claims that "no personal data was disclosed" and attributes these files to automated extraction of public pages. No passwords or banking details appear in the samples.

The only leak recognized by the victim. On Friday October 23, the Communist Party announced a leak of its file of members and sympathizers, after an alert from ANSSI. The CNIL has been notified, a complaint has been announced and the people concerned must be notified by e-mail.

The next morning, ChimeraZ put the base up for sale. It claims 183,363 people, 113,971 telephone numbers and 77,076 emails, with names, titles and postal addresses. The PCF has not published any figures and assures that “no banking data has been compromised”.

According to Le Parisien, ChimeraZ also claims an attack against the Hauts-de-France region and a Vendée armory. ZATAZ recalls that he was already targeting gunsmiths before the parties.
