Democratic campaign group for Congress confirms computer hack
A committee that raises money for Democratic candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives confirmed on Friday it had been hacked, a cyber intrusion that may be linked to Russian hackers, like an earlier one targeting another Democratic Party group.In an incident likely to raise concerns among party donors about their personal information, Reuters first reported on Thursday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing the hack at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC.The committee said it has hired cyber security firm CrowdStrike to investigate. ”We have taken and are continuing to take steps to enhance the security of our network,” the committee said in a statement.”We are cooperating with federal law enforcement with respect to their ongoing investigation,” it said.The DCCC hack may be related to an earlier hack against the Democratic National Committee, whoch raises money and sets strategy for Democratic candidates nationwide. The DNC and DCCC occupy the same office building in Washington.
