IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING CYBERSECURITY

France Education international (FEi), the French Ministry of Education’s agency and examination board for DELF-DALF qualifications, have informed us that between 9 January and 12 January their administrative examination management platform, GAEL, was the target of a cyberattack. FEi operated an emergency shutdown of the platform as soon as the breach was discovered as a safety measure.

An investigation into this incident has been launched, together with a reinforcement of security measures on the platform. Since the platform contains limited personal candidate data such as names, citizenship, and dates of birth, we invite candidates to remain aware of potential attempts of identity fraud following this incident. Please note that no passport numbers, medical data, or bank data are logged on the platform. FEi have published an official communication on their website. Candidates wishing to have further information on the incident and FEi’s safety policy may contact FEi’s data protection officer.
