Pretty cool.
Macron's team knew they would be, and were, the target of hackers after what happened in the States and intentionally clicked pishing e-mails only to insert rubbish credentials and data.

“You can flood these [phishing] addresses with multiple passwords and log-ins, true ones, false ones, so the people behind them use up a lot of time trying to figure them out,” Mounir Mahjoubi, the head of Macron’s digital team, told The Daily Beast for its earlier article on this subject.
In the end, whoever made the dump may not have known what is real and what is false, which would explain in part the odd timing. After the disruptive revelations of the Democratic National Committee hacks in the United States, the public is conditioned to think that if there’s a document dump like this, it has to be incriminating. By putting it out just before the news blackout, when Macron cannot respond in detail, the dump becomes both the medium and the message.

This is how the Macron team were so quick to know some of the data was fake, they put it there.

Turn out is at 'historic lows' which bodes well for Le Pen.
