The satirical newspaper’s website has been the victim of an intrusion. The DGSI was seized of the investigation.
Eight years almost to the day after the attack that decimated the historic editorial staff of the weekly, Charlie Hebdo is once again the target of a new attack.
Subscriber data would be in nature
According to information fromEuropean 1, the newspaper’s website and online store were hacked. If the home page quickly became accessible again, the online store is still offline at this time.
Worse still: listings of Charlie Hebdo’s November and December 2022 sales were reportedly uploaded and sold on the dark web. The personal data of thousands of subscribers would also be in the nature.
The newspaper filed a complaint for tampering with an automated data processing system and the investigation was entrusted to the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI), which is responsible for carrying out the investigations with the central office for the fight against crime related to information and communication technologies
Cartoons of Supreme Leader Khamenei that go very badly in Iran
Charlie Hebdo returned to the heart of the news in recent days by publishing a cartoon competition on the Iranian regime. The newspaper published dozens of drawings, each more ferocious than the next, with the assumed objective of achieving ” the funniest and nastiest caricature of Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran “.
The Iranian power, shaken for several months by large-scale demonstrations, did not taste this publication at all and warned France that it would not let these cartoons pass, judged ” insulting “. The first effects are not long in coming and Iran has closed the French Institute for Research in Iran (IFRI), located in the capital Tehran.
The Iranian regime explained that this decision was a ” first stage » of the response to the publication of Charlie Hebdo. It is of course too early to draw conclusions, but the investigations will probably have to look into a possible link between this hack and these latest cartoons.
