Written by

In February 2025, the French fintech firm Harvest suffered a major ransomware cyberattack, which completely paralysed its digital services, including its official website and customer access via VPN. According to the specialist magazine LeMagIT, the incident began with a targeted intrusion exploiting a vulnerability in the company’s cloud infrastructure, causing a total outage of its systems for several days. Many of the financial services offered by Harvest, including its investment and wealth management platforms, were severely affected.

Cette cyberattaque a entraîné une fuite de données de clients et de salariés. Face à cette situation critique, Harvest a immédiatement mobilisé ses équipes techniques et fait appel à des experts externes pour contenir l’attaque et restaurer progressivement ses systèmes informatiques. Conformément à la réglementation européenne RGPD, les entreprises clientes ont dû rapidement notifier la CNIL afin de signaler cette violation de données.
