France's tax office turns to Mistral after major hack

Mistral will initially be deployed at DGFiP to strengthen protection and will compare social media accounts and shopping sites with tax returns to spot anomalies; the Mistral contract is just €6 million of a €200 million cybersecurity budget increase.
