Emmanuel Macron

French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron has been the victim of a "Massive and coordinated hacking operation," after files purporting to be from the campaign were posted online via social media, his campaign said Friday.

Campaign officials claim the perpetrators of the hack had mixed fake documents with authentic ones "In order to create confusion and misinformation."

The statement said that by happening near the end of the campaign, the operation is clearly meant to undermine democracy, just like during the recent presidential campaign in the United States.

US intelligence officials have said the Russians meddled in the November elections, and Congress is investigating the allegations. Russia has denied any interference.

I think the french people wanted some one who was not your regular politician in office and this shows by electing Macron as their new president. I hope he has great success.

Yes, it's good that a centrist, willing to compromise, won the election. The fact he didn't come from a mainstream political party displays exactly what KN said. Good job France.

I have to laugh when the media even has to make news of the man's handshake. At least he isn't bowing to world leaders.
