Authority is warning the media not to spread information that has been hacked. The leaked material is from the campaign of centrist manual macron. Aids Demister Macron say the attackers intended to undermine french democracy. Assistance to mr macron say the attackers intended to undermine french democracy. He arrived dressed final interview last night assuming that his final campaign was basically done. While he was speaking, documents torn from his team were being circulated online. His campaign had been hacked. Coming at the last hour, his team said, this intervention is an attempt to destabilise democracy, as happened in the usa during the last election. So, who stole these documents . In the past, Emmanuel Macron has suggested that russian backed hackers were out to get him. But one cyber expert says that this hack looks different. It is very low level for the russians, compared to what they have done in the united states, which was really highly creative and high end Information War mixed with hacking and cyber war. What were right now with macron is very low end, very amateurish. But many french people, here braving the saturday drizzle, dont know much about the hack. On this, the day before the vote, the french media is banned from doing any in depth political reporting. A last minute hack is dramatic, showing Emmanuel Macron has capable enemies but it may not change the course of this election. Many french people have already decided which way theyll vote. And some have already cast their ballots. These french citizens in canada have made an early start. 47 million voters here in france will soon follow. James reynolds, bbc news, paris. So how is that data leak affecting the mood in france . My colleague is in paris. Well, already this election had been an extraordinary one. Who in france would have imagined that on the eve of the second round of president ial elections we would have ended up with these two candidates . The far right Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, the centrist candidate who only set up his party one year ago for in the very last hours, this latest twist came. The massive dump of data. What impact could it have on these final hours for france goes to vote . On these final hours for france goes to vote . I have been discussing this with my guest who is an expert in social media at the School Of Journalism at the sorbonne. As far as we know there was a leak on a channel called fortran last night at 830. Those documents became viral 30 minutes later. A channel called 4chan. They have exploded in france. Today there is a hash tag, macronleaks, a number one trending topic on twitter. As far as the timing is concerned, this is strange. It came in hours before the restrictions on what you can say about the election came into force and has resulted in the fact that neither candidate can comment on the content neither candidate can comment on the co nte nt of neither candidate can comment on the content of this. That is quite strange and nobody really understands why just two strange and nobody really understands whyjust two days before the president ial election is leak came out because there is supposedly nine gb, and huge amount of data. It cannot be processed in 48 hours and it is impossible for anybody to estimate the damage that will come out of it. Why only two days before . Ido out of it. Why only two days before . I do not think it will change the election tomorrow but it may impact ina election tomorrow but it may impact in a month or so for the election of members of parliament. That is interesting. Perhaps this is too late to do anything tangible for the president ial election tomorrow but in six weeks time we have another key vote that Emmanuel Macron is counting on getting support in. You think that could make a difference, potentially . A onemonth Smear Campaign extracted from the documents that have leaked and that could be very problematic for who we assume to be president macron, if he is elected. If he does not get majority, how will the implement its policy . The origin of this attack . We know there have been accusations against kremlin based agents. Can we deduce anything from what is out there . Nobody really knows. There are only hints. Everybody is looking towards the kremlin but there is no absence of proof. Nobody will ever be able to have absolute proof. The French Electoral Commission has come out quite strongly, telling all the media and people using social media that they absolutely must not be talking about this. That is unfortunately. I mean, they must do it. They must say, it is a question of the galaxy. But today it is pointless. Even the french speaking media in belgium can speak about this and there are no limits to social media. I understand the french position but i think it is pointless today. The was a spokesman from the Sorbonne School of journalism. And as we go into the final vote on sunday the polls look like this, one poll published puts Emmanuel Macron on 63 . That is against Marine Le Pens 37 . So Emmanuel Macron is the clear favourite in this president ial election. And also to remind you we will bring you special coverage here on the bbc of the results as they come out late on sunday. We will bring you a special programme presented by my colleague. Lets go toa presented by my colleague. Lets go to a story developing over the past few hours in nigeria.
