Lets catch up now and some other stories making news around the world a third woman has entered a hindu temple in the Southern State of carolina the first visit by two women on wednesday triggered protests across the state traditionally women were forbidden from entering the Shopping Mall less shrine but Indias Supreme Court lifted that ban in a ruling last year. Left wing activists involved with a sharp protest against the results of sundays parliamentary polls they allege the ballot was invalid due to electoral fraud and intimidation Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was declared the landslide winner of the election but american the and the e. U. Officials have raised doubts about the elections integrity. And explosion occurred outside a local office of germanys far right a. F. D. Party on thursday police say an unknown substance was detonated at the store front in the center of durban and saxony no one was injured and investigators are looking into whether the attack was politically motivated. Saying in germany theres been a mass leak of federal lawmakers data its being reported that hackers have tweeted the personal data of hundreds of politicians including credit card details and mobile phone numbers its understood members of every German Political Party was affected accept for the alternative for germany party. Home. Lets bring in. Our Political Correspondent following the story for us max good to see you what more can you tell us about this alleged attack what data was taken and published. Well this suspected leak as before so for now has been affecting german law make has m. P. s both on the national and federal state level and what we know so far is that the data seems to have affected lawmakers coming from almost all parties that are in the German Parliament except for the far right a populist a if t. And also found out by recent analysis of security expert is that some of the data seems to be in fact quite old there seems to be data dating back to two thousand and twelve and some of the data even seems to be fake some of the affected say that thats not real data what is so crucial about is that theres a lot of it is personal data so there is credit card information thats being circulated. Snapshots from a private group chats family chats messages so data that is very personal and can affect the past and that state has been suspected leagued quite. Effectively however Security Experts are now looking into it and its important to note that while the data is still being circulated the twitter country originally published the data is still active on the social media platform twitter one who isnt quite equipped in handling these security details shouldnt be opening these files because they could. Handle militia software that then could affect your own security ok so this is a pretty serious breach max you did say that the far right and fifty wasnt targeted what can we take away from that. Now this is over is it quite remarkable that one single policy has not seemingly be affected by this suspected lead on the other hand as with a lot of these things this seems to be an attack that seems to kind of play at the psychology of what these leaks can take again this is. A suspected leak that seems to contain personal information so there is a question of like how are these lawmakers supposedly seem to be a factor attacked and. One thing you always have to remember when you look at cybersecurity issues is that the question of abuse and am is not always what it seems to be so sometimes these attacks can have a certain look of a certain attribution to where theyre coming from or whether had it at but the same time have a completely different goal for example for the circulation of Malicious Software bugs its important to mention that the bundestag law makers government that works has been hacked several times over the last five years why does this keep happening. Well what we see in germany in general is that there still is a certain need for awareness of Cyber Security issues will be seen in the two thousand and fifteen hacker of the German Parliament technical Technological Infrastructure which was one of the biggest hacks of all with over twenty thousand accounts of members and workers at the German Parliament being affected is that there still needs to be sort of needs to be an awareness for what it means to have standards of cybersecurity in germany and what we see now again is that like they always seem to be aiming also at high level politicians in both cases even accounts for the german chancellor Angela Merkel the current leak but also the to those in fifteen weeks seem to be affected and this is this is a more increasing idea of sort of also saw cyber warfare so the two thousand and fifteen attack was something where experts say that this was attacked with the effect over the interest of Foreign Espionage and again we dont know whats happening right now but this could be just the same all right our Political Correspondent maximiliano kosik thank you so much.
