In a troubling incident in the Bouches-du-Rhône area, two licensed members of the French shooting federation were victims of a burglary, which has raised concerns regarding the recent data breach of the federation. Among those targeted was a police officer who had his service weapon and magazine stolen from his home in the Aix region. The burglary was reported to the authorities on February 17, sparking an investigation into the incident for 'burglary' by the public prosecutor's office of Aix-en-Provence.

This burglary is suspected to be connected to a massive data hack that occurred in October 2025, which compromised the data of numerous licensed shooters within the federation. The recent events have exacerbated fears among shooting sports enthusiasts as they confront the implications of having sensitive information potentially in the hands of criminals. The fallout from the data breach continues to pose serious concerns about safety and security for licensed firearms holders.

As the investigation unfolds, there is an urgent need for stronger security measures within the federation to safeguard not only the data of its members but also to prevent potential targetings, such as the recent burglary. This incident reflects broader issues regarding cybersecurity and the implications it has on public safety, particularly within the firearms community. As the authorities delve deeper into the investigation, it remains crucial to address the vulnerabilities exposed by both the burglary and the data hack in order to restore confidence among licensed firearm holders.
