#MacronLeaks: En Marche Campaign Team Hacked Days Before Final Election Round

21st Century Wire says…

Already, Russia and its ‘troll army’ are being blamed for the hack of the Macron campaign less than 24 hours ago.

A 9GB cache of internal documents was dumped onto the Magnet file-sharing network on Friday night, less than two days before the French people go to the polls on Sunday. The leaked files are believed to contain strategy documents, financial data, and personal correspondence from Macron’s En Marche!

Could this be a genuine attempt from a nation state for a final push so that French people rally behind Emmanuel Macron in case of a Marine Le Pen upset win, whilst blaming the usual suspects for the hacking attempt?

French presidential hopeful Emmanuelle Macron’s team confirmed that it suffered a massive hacking attack after a trove of internal documents was released online just a day before the final round of elections.

On Friday evening, a profile called EMLEAKS posted a nine-gigabyte leak to Pastebin, a web application where users can store plain text.

WikiLeaks posted a link to Pastebin on Twitter, saying that the release in question “contains many tens of thousands of emails, photos, attachments up to April 24, 2017.”

However, the group denied being involved in the leak, saying only that it is verifying the information.

Macron’s political movement, En Marche!, has released a statement confirming that the candidate and his campaign team were hacked.

“The En Marche movement has been a victim of a massive and coordinated hacking attack leading to the spreading this evening on social media of internal information of a diverse nature (emails, documents, contracts),” the statement said.

According to the team, “those circulating these documents are adding many false documents to authentic documents in order to sow doubt and disinformation.”

The release came “in the last hour of the official campaign” and this hack is “clearly a matter of democratic destabilization,” the statement added.

“Throughout the campaign, En Marche! has constantly been the party the most targeted by such attempts, in an intense and repeated fashion. The aim of those behind this leak is, all evidence suggests, to hurt the En Marche! party several hours before the second round of the French presidential election,” it continued.

The statement stressed that the documents “arising from the hacking are all lawful” and show the “normal functioning” of Macron’s presidential campaign.

In the meantime, the presidential election commission has confirmed that it is aware of the hack, but urged the media to be cautious about publishing the details.


“It [the commission] asks media, and in particular [news] websites, not to report on the content of this data”
as distribution “of false information” may lead to criminal charges, it said…
