The hack is clearly politically motivated, targeting all but the far-right parties (i.e. AfD is conspicuously missing) and left-leaning public figures. The data is often highly personal, including iCloud dumps, private photos, emails, and messages.
- chopin 8y agoYou mean such data as is collected by the BND at DE-CIX? I have only little sympathy.
- manfredo 8y agoThe absence of content on the AfD could also be due to the relatively young age of the party. It has only existed for 5 years which is extremely young for politics. Even if the leak contains recent data, there has been considerably less time to compromise party members. Being a young party could also mean the party's computer infrastructure and practices are more up to date.
- sschueller 8y agoOr the AfD is so technically inebt that it only has one party member that even has email...
- blattimwind 8y agoAfD members are very active on Facebook and various other networks.
- sorokod 8y agoAlso possible that this is a divide and conquer strategy by an external actor.
- gammateam 8y agoThats not conspicious given how old the info in this leak is
