‼️ UPDATE: The hacker behind the AfD email leak told us they got in through a single unpatched party website. They also say a 302GB torrent holds the full mailboxes. The hacker told us "the goal was not destruction, we could've brought cluster and its backups down". They just wanted to expose the "degeneracy and hypocrisy" of the AfD. They say all AfD sites run on one shared hosting cluster, so one outdated site let them escalate privileges, reach the rest and mount a mail backup. The leak site is down, which the hacker blames on a DDoS attack. Cloudflare shows an error saying the site's own server is not connected.

❗️ The AfD leak site's thousands of emails shows nazism from party members and staff labeled under racism/antisemitism. We went through the worst: 1. A 2018 email forwarded by Alexander Gauland concerns a "Hitler-Wallfahrt", a Hitler pilgrimage, by a former judge at the party's Thuringia arbitration court. 2. A member joked in a district WhatsApp group about turning refugees into handbags and boots, an allusion to the Nazi camps. 3. A district chairman quit, saying a board member sent a "Heil Hitler" Christmas card with a swastika and it was laughed off. 4. A Bavarian official urged party leaders to chant "Merkel verrecke", roughly "Merkel, croak", every day. 5. Federal party staff discussed luring a photographer to an event to remove him by force. The thread signs off "Heil und Sieg". 6. A 2025 NRW email is titled "Sale of swastika flags and drugs at the info stand". 7. This year alone, branches moved against members over a Nazi banner with a swastika, a Hitler impression and a call for machine guns against Arab clans.
