Gîtes de France data breach

What happened

In May 2026, the French holiday rental network Gîtes de France suffered a data breach affecting some of its departmental branches. The incident exposed hundreds of thousands of customer records, including 118k unique email addresses alongside names, phone numbers, postal addresses and booking details.

What data leaked

• Booking details
• Email addresses
• Names
• Phone numbers
• Physical addresses

What to do if you had an account

1. Turn on two-step sign-in. Enable two-factor authentication where the service offers it, preferably with an authenticator app or a passkey. A leaked password alone is then not enough to get in.
2. Expect targeted phishing. Leaked contact details are used to write convincing fake messages that mention the breached company or your real name. Do not click links in unexpected emails or texts about this account; go to the site by typing its address.
3. Watch for scam calls and SIM swaps. Be suspicious of calls and texts that claim to be from your bank or a courier. Ask your mobile operator for a port-out or SIM-change PIN if it offers one.
