Un haut responsable de Cdiscount, travaillant sur le site de Cestas (Gironde), a été mis en examen lundi 1er février à Bordeaux. Il est soupçonné du vol de données personnelles de potentiellement 33 millions de clients, dont au moins une partie ont ensuite été proposées à la vente sur des sites spécialisés.
A l’issue de sa garde à vue, ce « responsable d’entrepôt de la société Cdiscount a été déféré au parquet et présenté à un juge d’instruction » le 1er février, a indiqué le parquet de Bordeaux à l’Agence France-Presse (AFP). Le cadre a été mis en examen des chefs d’« extraction frauduleuse de données contenues dans un système de traitement automatisé », d’« abus de confiance » et d’« escroquerie », « au préjudice de Cdiscount », sur la période du 1er octobre 2020 au 30 janvier 2021, selon le parquet, qui confirmait une information du journal Sud Ouest. Placée sous contrôle judiciaire, cette personne est également visée par une procédure de mise à pied à titre conservatoire, a précisé à l’AFP Arnaud Dupin, avocat de Cdiscount.
Téléchargement découvert le 29 janvier Filiale du groupe Casino depuis 2000, Cdiscount est le no 2 en France du e-commerce, derrière Amazon, mais premier acteur français du secteur. L’entreprise a son siège à Bordeaux et dispose d’un de ses plus importants entrepôts logistiques à Cestas, en Gironde. Selon Cdiscount, qui a porté plainte, le cadre mis en examen est le directeur du site de Cestas.
Le vol de données a été découvert le 29 janvier par les « services de cybersécurité » de la société, laquelle a alors « immédiatement lancé des investigations internes ». Celles-ci « ont permis d’établir qu’il s’agissait d’une action interne malveillante et isolée et de faire cesser cet acte dès le lendemain », a expliqué un porte-parole de Cdiscount à l’AFP dans un communiqué.
La justice soupçonne le cadre d’avoir téléchargé illégalement sur son ordinateur une base contenant potentiellement les données personnelles des quelque 33 millions de clients de la plate-forme de vente en ligne, selon une source proche du dossier.
Pour Cdiscount qui n’a pas souhaité confirmer ce chiffre, ce cadre « a utilisé de façon malveillante les autorisations [informatiques] dont il disposait de manière légitime, compte tenu de ses fonctions », pour s’introduire dans la base. D’après les services de sécurité de l’entreprise, la base de données a ensuite été proposée à la vente en ligne par un vendeur sous pseudonyme, identifié comme étant le directeur du site de Cestas, selon Sud Ouest.
Incertitude quant à l’utilisation des données Le Monde a pu constater qu’une base de données d’environ 124 000 noms, semblant correspondre au fichier utilisé par le service client de Cdiscount, était proposée au téléchargement depuis la mi-janvier sur un site spécialisé.
« Ce que nous pouvons clairement affirmer, c’est qu’aucune donnée bancaire n’est concernée par cet événement, Cdiscount ne stockant aucune donnée bancaire de ses clients », a assuré l’entreprise dans son communiqué. « Les données concernées [par le vol] sont les nom, prénom, sexe, date de naissance, adresse, numéro de téléphone et e-mail du client, ainsi que le montant total des commandes sur les deux dernières années », a détaillé l’entreprise, qui a aussi expliqué que « rien ne permet de penser que ces données aient pu être vendues » à des tiers.
« Dans l’hypothèse où cela aurait été le cas, l’utilisation possible de ce type de données est la tentative de phishing [escroquerie par laquelle un pirate tente de soutirer des informations personnelles, le plus souvent en se faisant passer pour un service légitime] ou la prospection commerciale non désirée », avertit Cdiscount.

Welcome to this post fellow redditors! With the Euro 2016 less than 6 months away, it is time to introduce the stadiums that will host the fixtures of this tournament. For each city, you will find an in-depth description of the stadium, a photo album and a link to the city guide made by UEFA. Let me know if I made some mistakes or oversights. I hope you enjoy the reading!
Nota Bene:

• All kick-off times of the fixtures are CET.
  
• The names of the stadiums have been standardized for the Euro 2016 if their name is from a naming deal (this is the case for Bordeaux and Nice stadiums). The current names of the stadium can be found in brackets.
  
• All inauguration dates of the renovated stadiums are for the renovation for the Euro 2016 except for the Parc des Princes where the renovations were too minor to consider an inauguration date.

Trivia: The Stade Geoffroy-Guichard is named after the founder of the Casino retail chain. The nickname of the stadium is "Le Chaudron" (the Cauldron) due its reputation for the atmosphere. The stadium was build on old mine tunnels next to a steel factory and in the early days of the stadium, fumes from the factory's chimneys were known to drif across the pitch. The "Musée des Verts" located in one of the stadium's stand and showing the history of the Saint-Etienne club is the first museum in France dedicated to a football club. The museum exhibits the famous square posts that deny Saint-Etienne 2 goals (Dominique Bathenay long shot; Jacques Santini header) in the 1976 European Cup final against Bayern München in Glasgow.

je souhaite à personne ce que je vais vous raconter
bonsoir à tous le monde je vais vous raconter ma petite histoire assez peu intéressante mais j’avais envie de la partager aux autres :
pourquoi je ne me suis jamais mis en couple depuis mes 12 ans (j’en ai 16 et bientôt 17) ?
je ne dirais pas le prénom de cette fille ni autre information pourrant la reconnaître.
tout commence quand j’étais au collège en classe de 5ème, et comme à peu près tout le monde à ce moment on avait pour la plus part un téléphone avec des réseaux du type snap insta ou fb
un beau jour une fille s’abonne à moi et ayant peu d’abonnés je vais voir son profil et la c’est presque le coup de foudre
mais de suite dans sa bio je vois qu’elle vie aux alentours de Lyon
je la trouve exceptionnellement belle, la première fois que je « rencontre » une personne aussi belle (a savoir que moi à 12 je me basais plus sur le physique et sur le mental)
je dirais que environ 1 semaine après l’avoir follow back je vois qu’elle m’envoie un message
donc on continue à parler pendant 1-2 mois je dirais et on se met en « couple » virtuellement je dirais car on ne s’étais jamais appeler ou facetime
on arrête de se parler sans trop de raison au bout d’un an de messages dont je suis fou amoureux et j’insiste sur le mot fou
on se reparle de temps en temps en 4 eme puis en 3 eme et a chaque fois on se reparle plus malgré mon envie folle de lui parler. J’étais aussi vraiment timide alors j’hésitais a lui envoyer un message par peur de la déranger ou de l’ennuyer
et vous me direz mais c’est débile ce que tu dis ! tu ne vas pas embêter qqn en voulant simplement lui parler ! mais je vous assure que quand on est follement amoureux(se) d’une personne qu’on a jamais vu etc on a peur de faire une bêtise
je démange sur les alentours de bordeaux donc je m’éloigne encore plus d’elle - mes parents ou ma soeur n’ont pas la connaissance de cette fille et sa famille de même pour moi.
arrive l’année scolaire de seconde et j’essaie de lui parler de plus en plus pour rester en contact et essayer de sortir avec elle
l’année se termine et on entame tout juste les grandes vacances ! Je lui parle beaucoup elle me parle moins
moment cruciale puisque ont a prévu de se rencontrer pour la première fois depuis 4 ans d’attente derrière un écran
je lui donne rdv sur une grande plage devant un casino à Biarritz , la météo n’est pas avec nous on va se réfugier sous un petit arbre sous nos téléphones et on prend 2-3 photos puis l’heure viens pour elle de rentrer au camping
2 jours plus tard (toujours en vacances) je vais à son camping et puis on reste pas loin de 2 h ensemble et je trouve ça trop court. on refais des photos on parle de tout et de rien.
viens le moment pour elle de repartir chez elle a côté de Lyon je n’ose pas lui faire de câlin ou de l’embrasser alors que j’en meurt d’envie et d’impatience depuis 5 ans
ça y est elle est partie et je luis juste fait une simple bise.
je rentre chez moi et je reste stoïque face à ma famille c’est le soir je vais me coucher et je ne cesse de pleurer
je pleure pendant 3 semaines tous les soirs et j’en pleure actuellement au moment où j’écris tout ça
à peu près 1 mois après s’être rencontré sur une plage elle stop tous contact avec moi... elle commence par me bloquer sur snap (ça efface toute les conversations) je ne comprend pas pourquoi elle réagis comme ça elle continue sur insta mais à chaque fois que je lui demande de me débloquer elle essaie de m’embrouiller
et je finis par céder face à ses réactions à droite à gauche donc je lui dis clairement que tu m’as trop fais souffrir a me faire espéré une telle aventure que je pensais réel je lui dis que je ne veux plus qu’elle me parle pcq je voulais essayer d’oublier tout ça mais impossible elle continue et ne s’arrête pas
aujourd’hui encore elle est revenu me parler et à chaque message que je reçois d’elle une larme tombée je me dis mais pourquoi tu n’as pas essayer de l’embrasser.
je n’arrive toujours pas à tourner la page puisque à chaque fois que je vois sa tête sur l’icône de profil je la trouve beaucoup trop belle.
si jamais tu lis ceci sache que je t’aime toujours et que cela n’as pas changer depuis 5 ans. Je t’aime du plus profond de mon âme.
voilà mon petit thread est terminé j’espère c’était pas trop long et que ça vous a plus

Soooooo, apologies to all and especially to u/Sandi_flick. I must have overlooked the write-up for AS Monaco and put together a crappy wikipedia preview when there was one already made. I will admit that we used the same Stade Louis II picture, but u/sandi_flick has outdone me with the photo of the ridiculous training facility. And of course, more knowledge than i can get from francefootball and wiki.
So, with full apologies but without further ado .....

AS Monaco

History
AS Monaco was founded in 1919 when local clubs from France and Monaco combined to make a team in the French amateur division. In 1933 they were promoted to a professional league by the FFF, but they were relegated after the first season. In 1948 they made it back to the professional divisions, and in 1953 made it up to Ligue 1.
The first trophy was the Coupe de France, won in 1960 and the next season, 1961, Monaco won their first Ligue 1 championship. In the next season they also won the championship and the Coupe de France. All these trophies were won by manager Lucien Leduc who won again in 1978 and then left the club in 1979. There was a lot of domestic wins in this time period, but there was not much success in Europe and Monaco never made it into the knockout round of any European competitions. In 1985 Ștefan Kovács became manager in hopes he could find European success by using the tactics he used at Ajax in the 70's for a lot of success, but they didn't work and then Arsène Wegner was appointed manager from AS Nancy. He brought in and developed many great players such as Klinsmann, Weah, Henry, and Petit. He won the championship in his debut season. He was released after he negotiated to become the manager of Bayern, but he did not get the job and was then hired by a J-league team. Monaco won Ligue 1 in 1997 and 2000 and was then relegated due to a financial debt, even though they were runner up in the league. After promoted back to Ligue 1, Didier Deschamps was appointed manager but left after more financial issues. The mid-2000's was a dark time with the team being an average Ligue 1 team. In 2008 Jérôme de Bontin became head of the club and bought in young players such as /soccer favorite Freddy Adu but there was no success in these years. The club was relegated in 2011 after an 18th place finish.
In 2012 the team was bought by Dmitry Rybovlev who is a Russian billionaire from chemical companies. He invested a lot of money into the team after Claudio Ranieri led the team to a Ligue 2 championship and promotion in 2013. After the promotion, Rybovlev spend a lot of money to buy Falcao, James Rodriguez, and Joao Moutinho and to push for a league title in the first season back in Ligue 1, however the team finished second to PSG by 9 points.
Today the investment in big name players has dropped and the club focuses on developing young players and selling them at a profit. Rybovlev likes the club to be like a business and self-sustaining in finances. The big rivaly match is "Le Derby de la Côte d'Azur" against Nice, who are just a 20km drive away.
The City
Monaco is located in the south of France on the Côte d'Azur along the Mediterranean and close the the Italian border. It is its own country (technically a principality led by Prince Albert II who is a fan of the club and is frequently at matches) famous for the Grand Prix of Monaco where the drivers race on the city streets and near the yacht harbor. It is also famous for the casino and the tax haven status of the country.
Stadium
Monaco plays their matches in the Stade Louis II located in the Fontvielle district and was renovated in 1985. It also hosts track and field events. It is named for Louis II who was the prince when the stadium was built in 1939. The pitch is not a good quality pitch, as it is built over an underground car park. The stade is usually very empty for Ligue 1 matches, as there isn't a large following from people in the principality and the travel to the city is hard. Champions league matches and important matches such as against PSG, Lyon, and Marseille will fill the stadium.
As a bonus, Monaco also has a spectacular training facility located in La Turbie, in France, north of Monaco.
Last Few Seasons
Since ASM rejoined Ligue 1, the aspiration is to be the champion, but with PSG's current policy, it will take a miracle to win.
After the amazing Champions League run in 2014 and 2015 making it to the quarterfinals beating Arsenal (Video of the goals and commentary, I have never been this happy before I saw this live) in the first knockout round and then losing to Juventus 1-0 on aggregate from a penalty kick. This made a lot of our star players known to the big teams in Europe and the summer afterwards players like Anthony Martial, Yannick Carrasco, Geoffrey Kondogbia, and Aymen Abdennour were bought by big teams for big money. The money was then re-invested in young players, such as Ivan Cavaliero, Bernardo Silva, and Thomas Lemar.
2015-2016 season was marked by a slow start and failure to make it through the CL qualifying rounds and a slow start to the Ligue 1 campaign which ended in a 3rd place finish behind Lyon and the champions, PSG. This summer we have bought Djibril Sidibé (Lille), Benjamin Mendy (Marseille), and Glik (Torino), and De Sanctis (Roma), as well as Falcao and Germain back from loans. We have released Carvalho, Coentrao (loan), Traoré (on loan to CSKA), and Toulalan (to Bordeaux). They are the big signings and losses.
Fully it starting XI

 Subasic Sidibé Glik Jemerson Mendy Bernardo Moutinho Fabinho Lemar Falcao Germain 

Subs: Dirar, Bakayoko, Cavaliero, Echijile, Carillo, Vagner Love, Raggi, Mbappé
Player to watch
Keep an eye on Bernardo Silva this season. He can play many positions (as a winger or as a 10) and is very creative and can make a play out of nothing. He came from Benfica B and has stunned everyone. He connects well with his compatriot Moutinho. He will be a future star and I expect him to leave in the winter or next summer. Here's a video with some highlights (beware of the typical electronic music).
Why should you follow the club?
If you want to see the future stars of European football develop and put on a good show this team is for you. The youth development is a big part of the team and youngsters like Kylian Mbappé, Thomas Lemar, and Loïc Badiashile could become important players in the future.
Why should Messi come here?
He will not have to avoid taxes in the principality and we might need him because maybe he can provide his compatriot Guido Carillo with some service for goals because he really needs it. We did "reportedly" have an interest in Ronaldo a few years ago (but it was a Daily Mail source so it probably was not true).
Why would we be relegated to Ligue 2?
If we lose Falcao and Germain to injury, we only have youth players and Carillo left at strikers and Carillo is about as effective as a one of these at striker. The defense also is having some problems now as they are all new players playing together. I think this season we will fight for 3rd place.
