LeadershipWe accept cyber risk the way we pick the plant in receptionOn the night of 11 to 12 October 2026, attackers forced the defrosting of refrigerated units in around 700 French supermarkets, through refrigeration controllers reachable from the internet, many of which had not been updated in years. A flaw in those boxes had been reported to Danfoss in February 2023, and the remedy published three months later fitted on one line: restrict network access. A cyber risk is a business risk, and we accept it roughly the way we pick the plant in reception.
LeadershipParliament has never been your CISOOn 6 October 2026, the French National Assembly pulled from its agenda the bill that is meant to transpose NIS2, two years after the deadline set by Brussels. Within the hour, professional networks were calling it a disaster for small and medium businesses, abandoned by politicians who are not doing their job. Not one of the measures that law will require needs it in order to be applied on Monday morning.
CybersecurityFree: the fine is being argued at the Conseil d'État, the phishing carries onIn October 2024, an attacker left Free's information system with the data of 24 million subscriber contracts, IBANs included. In January 2026, the French data protection authority fined the operator 42 million euros for elementary security failings and for keeping, without justification, the data of millions of former subscribers.

Since then, texts he signed and other people wrote have surfaced almost daily, from a 2010 poem lifted from a Zen monk to opinion pieces translated from the Philippine press. All of it could have been checked for sixteen years with a search engine and a local library, and not one of his publishers bothered.
CybersecurityThe only backup that counts is the one you have already restoredOn 15 September 2026, Amazon Web Services wrote that it could not restore access to resources and data hosted exclusively in its Bahrain region. The three availability zones of that region were damaged by Iranian strikes, in March and then in April. Its own documentation states that those zones all sit within a hundred kilometres of one another.
CybersecurityA genuine government domain was enough to obtain passports and ten years of Bitcoin historyOn 11 September 2026, Revolut customers received a message titled « Urgent security update about your Revolut account ». In it, the bank explained that it had handed over their identity documents, their verification selfie and their entire transaction history to an address operating inside the domain of a government agency. I received that notification, took it for phishing, and deleted it.
