The attack took place in the middle of summer but was confirmed only a few days ago: hackers stole from the Assistance publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) the personal data of 1.4 million of patients having been tested for Covid-19 in mid-2020.

A cyberattack that follows the online dissemination of the results of screening tests of 700,000 people.

In question, a flaw in the security of third-party software.

Why are hackers interested in this kind of data? How valuable is access to this information? # Tech24 asks Bernard Benhamou, Secretary General of the Institute for Digital Sovereignty and former interministerial delegate for digital uses.

This is a record for the tech sector in France.

The Parisian company Sorare has just raised 580 million euros, placing it in first place among French "unicorns", these start-ups which have exceeded one billion dollars in valuation.

This fundraising confirms the appeal of the Sorare application, an online game combining a collection of Panini stickers and stock market transactions and based on NFT (non-fungible tokens) technology.

Decryption of the phenomenon with Guillaume Grallet, journalist specializing in new technologies for the weekly Le Point.
