Falsch
“The Ghostwriter phishing operation changed the result of Germany’s 2021 federal election”
Geprüft am September 22, 2026
Urteil
False. The operation sought login credentials from politicians, not access to the count — Germany uses hand-counted paper ballots. The SPD-led result stood and Olaf Scholz formed a government.
