The Federal Prosecutor of Germany started investigation on the fact of sending letters, calling on voters not to go to polling stations on 24 September — the day of parliamentary elections. About it reports Reuters.
According to investigators, many people in Germany received a letter, which contained strong recommendations not to participate in the elections: that a special program had already calculated their sympathy, based on comments in social networks and forums. Some messages were printed on the forms of electoral commissions and were certified fake stamps.
Unknown attackers have failed the style: almost all communications were compiled in a rough tone, and recipients easily recognized the fraud. Besides, most of the letters contained information that the recipient voice cast for “the Party Bible Christians” ceased to exist in 2015.
German government officials and security experts have already stated that after the elections in the United States and France do not exclude the Russian track. However, as pointed out by the Agency is likely to dispatch based on a witty message, published in the computer magazine C’t. Of his voters would know that their votes already counted in accordance with the browsing behavior and payment history with credit cards.
