Durov: If the French government gains access to encrypted chat records and digital identities, another wave of data breaches will occur
Telegram's founder and CEO Durov emphasized, "If the French government succeeds in obtaining access to encrypted chat records and users' digital identities on social networks, future data breaches will become even more severe."
On April 20, ANTS—the French agency responsible for issuing identity documents and driver’s licenses—was hit by a large-scale cyberattack, resulting in a data breach.
Over the past few months, France has experienced multiple major cybersecurity incidents. Hackers have successively infiltrated systems at France's Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Sports, Ministry of Education, national postal system, firearms ownership database, and other institutions.
