HACKED: House Republican Campaign Arm Emails Stolen In Major ‘Cyber Intrusion’

Ashe Schow

Officials at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which campaigns on behalf of House GOP members, said the organization had been hacked during the 2018 midterms. Thousands of emails were stolen by an “unknown entity,” three senior officials told Politico on Tuesday.

“The email accounts of four senior aides at the National Republican Congressional Committee were surveilled for several months, the party officials said. The intrusion was detected in April by an NRCC vendor, who alerted the committee and its cybersecurity contractor. An internal investigation was initiated and the FBI was alerted to the attack, said the officials, who requested anonymity to discuss the incident,” Politico reported.
