Macron blasts huge hacking attack just before French vote
French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron's team blasted a "massive and coordinated hacking attack" against his campaign after a flood of internal documents were released online late Friday, barely 24 hours before the election. The centrist candidate's furious staff said the release of thousands of emails, accounting documents and other files was an attempt at "democratic destabilisation, like that seen during the last presidential campaign in the United States". The documents spread on social media just before midnight on Friday -- when 39-year-old Macron and his far-right rival Marine Le Pen officially wrapped up campaigning for Sunday's election -- with his aides calling the leak "unprecedented in a French electoral campaign".
