"As happened in the U.S. election, Russian hacking attempted to interfere with the French election, dumping a massive trove of documents Friday night that seemed to design to attack Macron. Unlike in the U.S., however, French media did little to promote the details of the leaked emails and documents, thanks in part to a media blackout — standard practice in the days immediately leading up to the election — so it seems to have had little impact on the election. Macron’s campaign also claimed to have anticipated such hacks and fed bogus information to the phishing pages."
