The German public broadcaster RBB reported that the information was posted on a Twitter account over a series of days in December leading up to Christmas.

Merkel's entire cabinet was targeted as part of a cyberattack that occurred until at least the end of October, according to the German newspaper Bild. Some of the information released included private emails, mobile phone numbers and private addresses.

Politicians from all levels, including the European parliament, were affected by the data breach, a government spokesperson said. Other people of public interest, including artists and journalists, were also among those affected.

I’d be happy enough if we knew who our sexual deviants are. Out them. The rest can be known for covering it up. NDA’s are irrelevant now so how about it victims?

Wouldn't it be SO COOL if all the private information on broadcasters and reporters were suddenly available on the net? I'll bet a sawbuck that half of them are foreign born and 80% of them are commies...

It’s only a question of time... Start with press boys who are stenographers for corrupt ‘intelligence’ jerks...

Just on their public TV side, out of the first ten stories listed for Channel One...seven of the stories revolve around this hack.

The amusing thing....for well over ten years, private German citizens have been angry over increased hacks, and their own private data being stolen, with German cops basically saying ‘sorry, there’s nothing much we can do’. So regular people are just laughing at them. They might even go and make a special law, but only define bad hacks as against the government, and really provoke citizens.
