Partidul de extremă dreapta AfD din Germania, vizat de un atac cibernetic
A cyber attack on the German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) reportedly led to the online publication of around 421,000 emails. The authenticity of these emails has not been confirmed. A spokesperson for AfD acknowledged the attack occurred in September 2026, affecting several email accounts, including one linked to former leader Alexander Gauland. Most targeted accounts had not been used for years, and current leadership accounts were not compromised. The attack was detected and contained quickly, with affected individuals notified. Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the data breach and the authenticity of the leaked messages.
