GFrei.News reported that on October 19, an anonymous archive site went online that has over 421,179 emails, around 281 gigabytes of downloadable data, as well as internal documents and complete mailboxes. The data has been published on the linked website, which browsers have since flagged as a potential phishing site. In fact, the anonymously operated, poorly made, and AI-generated website, according to GFrei.News, contains no documents but merely offers a BitTorrent link to download the entire dataset. The publication is part of a campaign with another website. The author reported that an account announced new messages from the alleged hacker every few hours, including the banal information that they had used AI for analysis. GFrei.News also found the claim that the hacker had been offered 100,000 euros to take down the website to be little credible, as nothing was being published there and the torrent link was already available. International Cyber Digest has been publishing excerpts from the emails for several hours to highlight scandals, wrote GFrei.News. Half of the content mentioned has been known for years; the rest concerns ordinary internal party procedures, such as legal fees, donations, or the handling of misconduct by members. Such cases are dealt with by state arbitration courts, according to the author, who referred to the tens of thousands of AfD members. GFrei.News suspected that the individuals behind this were not German leftists: the original text was written in English and only partially translated into German by machine. Additionally, the initially stated registration in Wyoming was later changed. The hasty publication and repeated contact attempts at International Cyber Digest suggested, in the author's view, more of amateurs than professional hackers. The author expected that the publication would have no consequences and described internal party email communication as largely routine and limited to official processes. #AfD #Hacking #Cybersecurity (translated)
