Profile
Orange SA, also known as Orange, Orange Group, Orange Business Solutions, is a telecommunications company headquartered in France. It provides telecommunications services to consumer and business customers, operating under the Orange brand. The organisation maintains a Cyberdefense team responsible for monitoring and responding to security incidents across its information systems. Its Business Services division includes platforms such as Le Forfait Informatique, which supports enterprise customers. Orange also offers management services and platforms for business customers, as well as consumer services primarily in France.
In July 2025, Orange Group detected a cyberattack on one of its information systems, prompting isolation of affected services that disrupted management platforms for some business customers and a few consumer services in France, while confirming no data exfiltration. In July 2020, a ransomware attack by the Nefilim group targeted its Business Services division, compromising data from approximately twenty enterprise customers and leaking sensitive information such as emails and aircraft schematics from client ATR. Earlier, in April 2014, a breach exposed personal information of about 1.3 million customers, including phone numbers, email addresses, and birth dates, following a prior breach in January 2014 that affected roughly 800,000 customers through security vulnerabilities like broken authentication or SQL injection.
These incidents highlight Orange's focus on cybersecurity response, including collaboration with authorities, filing formal complaints, and notifying affected customers. The organisation's approach involves isolating impacted systems to limit spread, providing remediation solutions, and maintaining heightened vigilance after events. Its headquarters in France situates it within a regulatory environment shaped by EU directives on data protection and breach disclosure. Orange's dual focus on consumer telecommunications and business solutions reflects its segmented service structure.
