Bloctel Do-Not-Call Register Allegedly Leaked, 3 Million French Phone Numbers Published Free
An actor posting as Cybernox has published what they describe as user data from Bloctel, the French government's official register allowing consumers to opt out of unsolicited telephone marketing. The listing claims 3 million records, and the posted sample shows a minimal structure of phone numbers paired with internal registration identifiers, with no names or addresses visible. The release is free across four separate file mirrors. The post carries political rhetoric rather than a commercial motive, and the actor states plainly that the value of the data lies in identifying which numbers are registered. The claim is unverified.

⚠Potential impact
Two fields make this among the thinnest datasets by content and among the more consequential by function. A register of people who asked not to be called becomes, once leaked, a list of three million verified live French numbers — the exact inversion of the protection it was built to provide. Legitimate firms screen against this list; parties willing to ignore it now have it as a target set instead. Registration also skews toward those most troubled by cold calling, which tends to mean older consumers, a group already disproportionately targeted by telephone fraud. Free mirrored distribution means it cannot be recalled.

UnverifiedOnly four sample rows are published, which is thin evidence for a three million record claim, though the identifier format is consistent across them. Dark Web Informer is not reproducing the download mirrors. The post is framed around anti-EU political rhetoric rather than profit, and that framing is the actor's own. The account holds moderate standing. The claim is unverified and Bloctel has not publicly addressed it.
