Data German politicians put on the internet

Hackers have distributed personal information about hundreds of German politicians.

The leak affects, among other things, members of almost all parties in the Bundestag, the German parliament. Only politicians of the right-wing populist AfD seem to be spared. The information is distributed via a kind of Advent calendar on Twitter. An account with more than 16. 000 followers shared links to the data, which are sometimes several years old.
