Have I Been Pwned confirmed more than 345,000 unique addresses in a leak affecting Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany, which acknowledged the September theft on October 20. The count does not establish how many accounts were compromised or people affected. The party says it notified affected account owners.
Have I Been Pwned confirmed on October 27 that more than 345,000 unique email addresses were exposed in a breach affecting Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, The Register said. The stolen material also included hundreds of thousands of confidential emails and attachments.
The confirmation follows AfD’s October 20 acknowledgment of a September attack on its email hosting provider. The party said “only a few email accounts were illegally copied” but acknowledged that a large amount of data had been taken.
The address count measures distinct addresses appearing in the stolen data. It does not establish that more than 345,000 accounts were compromised or that the addresses belong to that many individual victims.
Investigative journalist Lilith Wittmann’s report, citing conversations with the attackers and party sources, said the attack was first spotted on September 9. It alleged that the intrusion began through a poorly protected WordPress website.
Wittmann’s report identified the hosting provider as AfD-owned Alternita Dienstleistungs GmbH. It alleged that the attackers maintained access to the provider’s servers and stole more than a terabyte of data. Officials have not verified the attackers’ account of how the intrusion unfolded.
The stolen correspondence appeared on a website that AfD described as an activist site, with email chains summarised into searchable topics. AfD disputed summaries generated using superintelligence (SI), saying the analysis relied on keywords rather than context. The party has not specifically addressed the authenticity of the raw email files.
