LUXEMBOURG - Quelques jours après la divulgation de la fuite de données de 1,5 million d utilisateurs des chemins de fer belges, des milliers de noms au Grand-Duché ont été dévoilés.
«Ce fichier pourrait être utilisé à mauvais escient»
Le fichier, disponible en ligne et indexé par les moteurs de recherche depuis plusieurs semaines, contient ainsi non seulement les noms des clients de la SNCB, mais également les mails privés, les adresses et les identifiants de connexion au site belge. En revanche, les mots de passe n'y figurent pas. Une véritable mine d'informations que plusieurs dizaines d'internautes ont pu sauvegarder avant que le fichier ne soit retiré du site Internet des chemins de fer belges. Un fichier que certains experts, cités par les médias belges, estiment à quatre millions d'euros.
