Republican Campaign Emails Hacked Months Before Election

According to Reuters, email accounts for a campaign group supporting Republicans running for the U.S. House of Representatives, were hacked before this year’s congressional elections. Hackers used stolen passwords to access a “small number” of National Republican Congressional Committee email accounts in a hack discovered around April. A source familiar with the matter said the NRCC changed the passwords at its web-based email provider and took steps to prevent similar attacks.
