The data of 23 million French drivers was obtained by hackers.
A cyber attack occurred on the databases of car inspection services (Securitest, Car Security and VerifAutos companies).
In total, the hackers obtained about 40 million vehicle numbers. The databases also contained data on makes, models and customer files with owners' names and addresses.
The leak occurred against the backdrop of a new deterioration in relations between Paris and Tehran. The French authorities suspect the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of involvement in this incident.
