Happy New ("Doxxed") Year - Hundreds of German politicians, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, have been doxxed with their private information and political documents dumped online.

The victims hail from all major parties — except the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). The information released includes emails, cell phone numbers, physical addresses, private chat conversations, pictures of their ID cards and even bank details and debit authorizations. The data also included internal party documents.

Julian Röpcke of Bild tweeted that he had found “shocking” details related to nepotism, and that the data stretches back to 2009. He also speculated that more compromising material may be in the offing:
