Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France, has reported that her personal details were altered on the official tax authority website, appearing under the name "Jean-Michel, known as Brigitte Macron." This incident has revived a long-debunked conspiracy theory that falsely claims she was born male under that name.
The Élysée Palace has filed a formal complaint regarding the incident, characterizing it as a deliberate cyber intrusion rather than a technical error. Investigations have identified two suspects who reportedly stated that their actions were a protest against government policies.
This incident follows recent legal actions taken by the Macrons against harassment related to the conspiracy theory, including a libel suit filed in the United States.
