German  Cyber Attack

A comprehensive confession made by a 20 year old man regarding the data breach attack has marked an end to the misery over the information leak of Angela Merkel and other public figures.
Styling himself G0d, the anonymous 20 year old published private information about journalists, politicians & celebrities on Twitter under the username @_0rbit.
The computer amateur managed to access & leak personal data of around 1000 people including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The defendant is a student who lives with his parents. He is believed to have acted alone out of rage by the political statements made by public figures he targeted.
The target included politicians from every major political party except for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) raising a suspicion of their influence in this cyber crime activity. However there is no evidence of involvement of foreign intelligence or activists from the far-right AfD in this security breach.
