French Police Arrest Suspected ZeroBytes Hacker Over Tax Data Theft

French police arrested an 18-year-old man in August on suspicion of membership in ZeroBytes, a hacking collective linked to intrusions against French government agencies and private organizations. The Paris prosecutor's office made the case public in early September. The suspect faced formal charges connected to theft of tax data.

Why it matters: French government entities and organizations operating in France face ongoing targeting by ZeroBytes; this arrest may disrupt the group's operations or reveal additional attack infrastructure and victims.
