German Politicians and Celebrities are Under AttackHundreds of German parliament members, most notably Chancellor Angela Merkel, and celebrities are having their personal details leaked in what seems to be a politically motivated cyber-attack. Information including financial details, contact information, private conversations, and more was originally leaked in December on a Twitter account, which was only recently discovered and suspended.
Although six of seven main political parties were among those affected, no members from the far-right Alternative party (AfD) seem to be impacted. Officials are saying that the data could have been obtained by hackers using stolen passwords to log into email accounts, social networks, and cloud-based services.
