Opening the door into federal investigation of CA election fraud?
FBI probing cyberattack targeting second California Democrat: report
The FBI has reportedly launched an investigation into a cyberattack targeting a second Democratic congressional candidate in California.
Reuters reported Friday that David Min, who ran for the seat in California’s 45th congressional district but was defeated in the state's primaries last month, had his election campaign computer targeted by hackers. The attempt was successful, according to Reuters.
Min’s former campaign manager, Paige Hutchinson, declined to comment to the news outlet and an FBI spokeswoman told The Hill that the agency cannot confirm or deny an investigation.
It is the second reported cyberattack focused on a Democratic congressional candidate in California that has come to light in the past week after Rolling Stone reported that Democratic candidate Hans Keirstead also faced cyberattacks during his campaign starting last year.
Keirstead, who also lost his primary bid, was running for the seat currently held by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.). Kierstead's former campaign manager said that they did not believe the hacks impacted the election results.
