On 14 March 2026, Sarah Knafo #2 — a data leak claimed against the Paris municipal campaign of Sarah Knafo, MEP and Reconquête! candidate for mayor — surfaced, with the perpetrators saying they held the personal data of Parisian party members and campaign contributors. According to the tracker entry, the claimed leak centred on roughly 594 phone numbers.
This claim follows the broader controversy around Knafo's campaign that began in January 2026, when her newly launched campaign website (sarahpourparis.fr) and its "Paris à cœur ouvert" participatory forum exposed contributors' personal data in cleartext. That earlier exposure — surfaced by cybersecurity researcher SaxX and reposted on breach forums — stemmed from a website design flaw rather than an intrusion, and left names, emails, IP addresses and phone numbers accessible even for users who had requested anonymity.
The data categories tied to this campaign data exposure include:
- Names and first names
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- IP addresses
- Paris district / contribution details
The 594 phone-number figure for this March claim is reported by the source tracker and was not independently confirmed in mainstream reporting at the time of writing; mainstream coverage of the January exposure cited around 607 contributions, 458 unique emails, 437 IP addresses and 187 phone numbers. The status of this specific claimed leak — and any official or regulatory (CNIL) response to it — remains unconfirmed.
