French Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron hit by massive email hack
In an official statement, Macron's En Marche movement said that an anonymous user released nine gigabytes of data online, which were a mixture of real and fake documents.
"The leaked files were obtained several weeks ago by hacking personal and professional email accounts of several officials of the movement," the En Marche statement read.
In Sunday's election, Macron, the Centrist candidate will face far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
