The crowdfunding platform Credit.fr is the subject of hacking attempts. Customers can no longer access their account. Our priority is to protect your funds and your personal information, explains the company which has just been taken over by its competitor October.
Credit.fr, the crowdlending platform that connects individuals with VSEs-SMEs looking for financing, is the victim of hacking attempts. Credit.fr, which is being bought out by its competitor October, has warned its customers by email.
The attack on the Credit.fr platform is still ongoing, but we have taken immediate action to prevent further harm. We have restricted access to all accounts on the Credit.fr platform. This means that for the moment you cannot connect your Credit.fr account. Our priority is to protect your funds and your personal information, writes the director of operations of October, Maxime Gely.
According to him, Credit.fr access was probably possible via the use of stolen identifiers on other services, such as Netflix, LinkedIn or Adobe. We have no reason to believe that your email and password were stolen from the Credit.fr platform, specifies Maxime Gely.
Access to accounts early next week?
He indicates that the implementation of additional security features should allow customers to be able to access the platform again in the next few days. They should be informed about this at the beginning of the week.
