A cyberattack has reportedly resulted in more than two-million dollars being stolen from the Wisconsin Republican Party.
GOP chair Andrew Hitt says they discovered they were victims of a sophisticated phishing attack last Thursday. Party officials contacted the FBI after confirming $2.3 million was missing. Hitt claims hackers lifted the cash by manipulating information in e-mails and invoices to vendors the party was using on the presidential campaign. Hitt says the national party had warned state parties about potential cyberattacks, but “unfortunately, one slipped through the cracks.”
