PRESS RELEASE
Boulogne-Billancourt, 5th March 2021
Solocal detected and blocked an intrusion attempt into its information systems
On the night of 17th to 18th February 2021, Solocal's IT department detected an
attempt at intruding into the Company's internal network.
In accordance with the Company's information systems security management
procedures, the IT teams took the necessary preventive measures to:
- preserve the Group's information systems;
- block the intrusion attempt;
- ensure that no damage has been done to the Group's tools and data;
- protect all sensitive data of the Group and its customers.
At the present stage of the investigations, no customers and users' data have
been compromised. The Company's main platforms available for firms and users
(PagesJaunes, Solocal Manager, Solocal.com) have not been impacted and have
remained safely accessible to all French people.
The implemented actions resulted in a temporary slowdown in the Group's
activity between the date of the attempted intrusion and the evening of 23rd
February 2021, when the information systems were restored. Normal business
activity resumed, with the Group's network accesses remaining under
surveillance.
This risk is covered by a specific insurance policy. The slowdown will
therefore not have a significant impact on the Group's financial situation,
with the 2021 guidance remaining unchanged.
