Hackers accessed and altered Brigitte Macron's government tax records to list her as "Jean-Michel, known as Brigitte Macron," invoking a persistent conspiracy that she was born male. The conspiracy ties her maiden name, Trogneux, to a supposed male identity. Macron discovered the change while logging into her account and was reportedly completely surprised. The name field cannot be edited by users. Two individuals have been identified in connection with the hack and a formal complaint has been filed. The incident precedes a Paris criminal trial charging ten people with sexist cyberbullying related to the same campaign.
