Peter Magyar, the leader of the Hungarian opposition, accused the authorities of the illegal leak of data of his supporters following a cyber attack.

Peter Magyar, the leader of the Hungarian opposition and the main rival of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, accused the authorities of facilitating the illegal leak of personal data of his supporters, following a cyber attack with malware. Magyar stated that his systems are constantly under attack and that he is facing international networks that want to keep Orban in power. He claimed that his party's application, TISZA, was targeted by cyber pirates, supported by Russian services.

Recently, a database with 200,000 names was exposed on the internet, containing personal information of users. Magyar believes that these actions are meant to intimidate his supporters and to prevent the organization of the primary elections. Although the voting will continue, it will take place on another site. The government commented on the accusations, suggesting that the opposition is not managing citizens' data properly. Magyar is leading in polls a few months ahead of the April 2026 elections, surpassing Orban. This is not the first time the opposition has faced cyber attacks, and in the past, primary elections have been suspended due to similar incidents.
