Hundreds of thousands of AfD emails hacked into the InternetHundreds of thousands of emails from members of Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party were reportedly leaked following a cyberattack in September 2026. The attack targeted a hosting service provider used by the party, resulting in the unauthorized copying of parts of several email accounts, many of which had not been active for years. The leaked emails include internal communications, identification documents, invoices, bank statements, academic transcripts, membership applications, and lists of local chapter members. Among the emails are discussions about alleged antisemitic comments made by an AfD state parliament member on Telegram, internal reports on Nazi-related activities and threats within the party, and incidents involving the suspension of a member who posted images of Ku Klux Klan lynchings. Additionally, there are references to actions taken against a local chapter member who sold swastika flags and distributed drugs at a party information stand. The AfD has confirmed the breach but stated that current email accounts were not affected, and an internal investigation has been launched.
