Cyber Resilience Act : ce qui change pour les développeurs

Que se passe-t-il vraiment après une fuite de données ? Impacts, chiffres et conséquences.

… exfiltrées. Conséquences : une rançon est payée en urgence pour éviter la fuite publique. 9 000 établissements scolaires sont durement impactés. 2026 - McKesson, 284 millions de patients aux USA. Contexte : le groupe de ransomware ShinyHunters s'attaque au géant de la santé. Conséquences : 55,2 millions de dollars de rançon exigée. Pire encore, des services médicaux vitaux (dont des pacemakers connectés) sont mis hors ligne. Des vies sont directement menacées (source : The Register). 2026 - ANTS, 11 à 18 millions de Français. Contexte : piratage critique de la base de données des titres d'identité (permis, passeports). Conséquences : une enquête criminelle d'envergure est en cours. Le risque de vol d'identité à l'échelle nationale n'a jamais été aussi élevé. Ce que cette chronologie nous apprend, c'est l'évolution terrifiante des cibles. Au début, on volait des adresses email pour spammer. Aujourd'hui, on pirate le cloud pour voler de l'ADN, bloquer des hôpitaux ou paralyser des services publics. Les fuites majeures en France (2020-2026). En France, le mythe de l'exception culturelle ne s'applique malheureusement pas à la cybersécurité. Le RGPD (Règlement Général sur la Protection des Données) a beau faire trembler les services marketing, il n'empêche pas les failles humaines et techniques. La CNIL est d'ailleurs devenue le gendarme le plus redouté du web français. Voici les incidents qui ont marqué la tech française récemment : 2024 - France Travail (ex-Pôle Emploi), 43 millions de dossiers. Contexte : les attaquants ne se sont pas attaqués au serveur frontal. Ils ont fait de l'ingénierie sociale en ciblant les comptes des conseillers CAP EMPLOI. Conséquences : une amende sévère de 5 millions d'euros infligée par la CNIL pour manquements à la sécurité (article 32 du RGPD), assortie d'une astreinte de 5 000 € par jour de retard pour la mise en conformité (source : CNIL). 2024 - Viamedis-Almerys,

Les insights du recrutement d’Alexandre Chavain, talent acquisition indépendant.

"Claude Code a rebattu les cartes il y a 8 mois." On a retrouvé Alexandre Chavain, ancien collab’ welovedevs, le temps d’une interview sur le métier de talent acquisition. Depuis ses premiers pas dans le recrutement, Alexandre a observé pas mal de transformations sur le marché du recrutement et celui de l’IT. Découvrez les insights du recrutement par Alexandre. Ça recrute dans le monde dans la start-up & scale-up ? “Ceux qui recrutent beaucoup en ce moment, c'est majoritairement ceux qui ont fait des levées de fonds. Clairement les capitaux se tournent aujourd'hui vers les boîtes qui font vraiment de l'IA, pas juste une feature shiny où on va brancher un MCP. Ces boîtes-là recrutent des data scientists, des Data Engineers, des Forward Deployed Engineers, ils font du RAG et du fine-tuning, ils construisent des produits qui apportent une valeur ajoutée forte à l'utilisateur”. Il a remarqué plusieurs secteurs : Les SaaS B2B orientés grands comptes ont le vent en poupe, car leurs clients sont en retard sur leur transformation digitale, et doivent le rattraper, par exemple sous la pression du cadre réglementaire (facturation électronique, RGPD, Sécurité, etc). Bien sûr, le secteur bancaire est aussi très stimulé, en particulier avec la révolution de l’IA qui redistribue les cartes. On sait que les banques historiques n’ont pas pris le train du digital à temps, et les néobanques ont gratté pas mal de parts de marché… Maintenant, une multitude de petits services associés arrivent, pour gérer ses finances facilement ou faire des transactions en 1 clic. Le recrutement IT a connu des évolutions ces 5 dernières années, tu es d’accord ? Alexandre précise : “Quand on parle d'IA, on parle pas d'évolution, on parle de révolution.” “Claude Code a rebattu complètement les cartes il y a 8 mois. Aujourd'hui un profil confirmé ou senior peut abattre autant de travail qu'une équipe de 5 personnes médior il y a
