France to use AI tools to test cybsecurity vulnerabilities after tax agency hacking

French budget minister David ​Amiel said on Tuesday ‌that his ministry will use artificial ​intelligence tools to ​test government agencies' cybsecurity ⁠vulnerabilities after a ​broad hacking of ​the country's tax agency was disclosed last week.
The data of ​about 700,000 ​taxpayers were stolen in a ‌cyberattack, ⁠the French Finance Ministry said on Thursday.
The chief of ​the French ​tax ⁠agency, Amelie Verdier, said her ​services detected ​another ⁠data breach on Monday. That attack ⁠is ​still being ​evaluated, she added.
