Hacking "personal data" of hundreds of German politicians
The German Radio and Television (ARD) reported on Friday that hackers
have published personal data of hundreds of German politicians belonging to
major parties.
The data, published on Twitter, also includes addresses, personal
letters and copies of identity cards, the agency said, quoting its RBP station.
"The deployment also included details of credit cards and mobile
phone numbers for politicians."
The report said that the breakthrough was affected by all major German
parties, with the exception of the Alternative Party for Germany of the extreme
right.
The motive behind the operation and the identity of its perpetrators are
still unknown.
The German government announced that it takes "seriously" the
exposure of personal data and documents belonging to hundreds of German
politicians for online piracy and publishing.
"Sensitive information and important documents were not affected by
the infiltration," the government spokesman said.
