The Pays de la Loire Mobility Observatory, which oversees the multimodal transport network and flows for the Pays de la Loire region of France, has allegedly been compromised, with an unidentified party listing its complete operational database for sale. The dataset, offered for $8,000 on a hacker forum, reportedly contains the definitive master data used to power the region’s transport network, including extensive records from the national railway company (SNCF) TER regional trains and urban connection points.
The allegedly compromised data includes:
-
Complete stop databases containing over 1,200 stops, including TER rail stations and urban network connection points
-
Precise WGS84 GPS coordinates, official UIC/SNCF identifiers, and INSEE codes
-
Comprehensive network topology, including scheduled routes, timetables, and vehicle journey patterns
-
Live and historical operations archives (GTFS-RT and NeTEx) spanning from April 2025 to March 2026, documenting real-time updates, cancellations, and delays
-
Granular passenger count statistics broken down by direction, time of day, and day type
-
Anonymized Origin-Destination (OD) flow matrices tracking passenger movement patterns
