European defence giant Naval Group has confirmed that it is investigating an alleged cyber attack which has seen what purports to be sensitive internal data published on the internet by hackers.
Naval Group builds and maintains an array of ships and submarines for the French navy, including aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. It counts several foreign navies amongst its customers including India and Brazil.
As such, a security breach against the defence contractor should be considered a concern for not just France's national security, but that of other nations as well.
The alleged breach first came to light after a hacker calling themselves "Neferpitou" put up for sale what they claimed to be approximately 1 TB of Naval Group's internal data, offering a 13GB free "sample" of its contents.
The announcement was made in a post on an underground hacking forum.
