• MédecinDirect November 28, 2025 • [ cyber incident, unauthorized access, data breach ] MdecinDirect, a French teleconsultation platform, reported a large-scale cyber incident in late November 2025. The provider stated it was the victim of an intrusion that was stopped upon detection on 11/28/2025. Approximately 285,000 patients were warned that their account information could have been compromised, and affected people were informed once the incident perimeter was clarified on 12/03/2025. MdecinDirect indicated that personal and health data potentially consulted included the reason for teleconsultation, information provided in pre-teleconsultation questionnaires, written exchanges between patients and physicians, and some Social Security numbers. The platform stated teleconsultation videos were not recorded and were therefore not impacted. It reported filing a complaint and notifying the CNIL (Frances data protection authority), and stated that services were functioning normally about ten days after the intrusion while additional technical investigation continued.
