What is confirmed
In a notice dated 23 August 2023, Pôle emploi, now France Travail, reported an intrusion at a vendor; its own information system was not implicated in this episode.
The scope included names and social security numbers, but not emails, phone numbers, passwords or banking details according to this notice.
What it means
This is a historical case illustrating vendor risk, not a new France Travail attack announced in September 2026.
Other France Travail incidents occurred later: any individual notice should be matched to the correct incident.
What to do
Open the official France Travail website directly and contact its official support if you doubt a notification.
