News Summary:
On October 2, 2026, a phishing scheme targeted Free Mobile customers, leveraging a seemingly routine €9.99 bill to trick individuals into providing bank card details on a fake payment page. This incident followed the appearance of convincing Free Mobile phishing emails, which surfaced after France's data protection regulator, the CNIL, fined the cellular provider €27 million in January 2026. The fine addressed failures to protect customer data related to an October 2024 breach that exposed sensitive customer records, including bank account details and login information, to an unauthorized party. Previously, on September 24, 2026, French operator Free announced its B2B services, marketed as Free Pro, had surpassed 100,000 customers, confirming earlier statements and marking a renewed effort to target more large enterprises. Earlier, on August 24, 2026, Iliad subsidiary Free Mobile expanded its smartwatch portfolio by adding the Samsung Galaxy Watch9, diversifying its offerings which previously featured only Apple models. Customers can finance the device over 24 months through an interest-free plan provided by Younited Credit.
