The news came as the campaign, “intensified ahead of the April and May election with several candidates facing smear scandals in recent weeks, says the story.
Le Pen suspects rivals of using the data to try to keep him out of the presidential race, says the story, adding:
“After a visit to the headquarters of his National Front party on Friday, the police said the list of officials who had agreed to back Le Pen had been stolen by a hacker.
“The hacker had gained access using an Internet site specialising in breaking entry codes. A National Front employee who used the computer that was hacked into was detained but later released.”
