I appreciate the reporting from a technical perspective but it seems unethical at some level to do this.

It's baffling that these kinds of organisations which are obvious targets of attacks are still using stuff like Wordpress, and then getting exploited through it. Competence doesn't grow on trees ...

From what I can find, they are knee deep in Hitler yada yada crap... Don't they get tired of it? it has been almost a 100 years.. Likely that unemployed have economic anxieties and resort to this crap but you know the right wingers specialize in tax-cut lingo to serve zillionaires... emails apparently show that zillionaires are funding them according to the leaks.

It's touching to read that important AfD members went to Hitler's birthplace and lit a candle for him but that was already known. The leak contains their whining about it, plus a bunch of antisemitic discussions, lists of doxed enemies with 25k entries, and a bunch of Sieg Heils and svastikas. They're not Nazis, though, as they do not cease to emphasize. Not at all. How could they be Nazis? Elon Musk supports them!
