Swiss People’s Party falls prey to hackers

Hackers claim to have stolen the personal data of more than 50,000 people from the web servers of Switzerland’s biggest political party, the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP).

The hackers, calling themselves NSHC, stole the names and email addresses of SVP supporters in the cyber attack, said tech websiteinside-it.ch.

Contacting the website by letter, the group said it had no intention of using the data, but simply wanted to show that Switzerland is vulnerable to cyber attacks and open a debate on the subject.

The SVP confirmed to daily 20 Minuten that it realized on Wednesday that it had been a victim of a cyber attack, however it could not yet confirm if any data had been stolen. For the full article click here
