Tax Office Hacking: Investigation Committee Requested by PS Senators

The tax administration acknowledged on Friday that it had experienced a breach of its computer systems. This incident has affected at least 678,000 individuals and businesses, according to official statements.

In response to this situation, Socialist senators, led by their president Patrick Kanner, have called for the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry committee. This initiative aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the breach and to determine whether it results from "independent circumstances" or from "common vulnerabilities" in the systems.

This request for an inquiry committee comes amid a backdrop where Parliament seeks to assess the scope and implications of this security incident on the protection of taxpayer data.
