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.

Report: Antifa Tricked and Doxed Conservatives with ‘Anti-Antifa’ T-Shirt Site

 

Antifa tricked some conservatives with a website which advertised free “anti-Antifa” t-shirts, before publishing their names and addresses.

The far-left trolls, who masqueraded as allies of an upcoming rally called “National March Against Far-Left Violence,” started a website and advertised free “anti-anti-fascist t-shirts.”

“But the website appears to have been a trap by antifa, who turned around and published the names and addresses they’d collected from the website,” reported the Daily Beast, who claimed around “three dozen people” tried to get the t-shirts.

Furthermore, the official Facebook page for the rally had even advertised the website, seemingly unaware that it was created by far-left trolls.

“This ‘patriot’ came out of no where with an already built web page saying it was built to donate to the cause,” declared the rally’s official Facebook page. “A gift to this cause. Turns out it’s not and it was a fake website made to lure people into it. We are sorry about that.”

 

“Some infiltrators created a website and due to the share number of mutual friends I trusted that it was legitimate,” they continued. “They were just supposed to put out information but instead put up a phony order form for tea [sic] shirts… The authorities have been notified and are extremely interested because it appears that interstate fraud has been committed… The Antifa infiltrators made a big mistake by attempting to take phony t-shirt orders because now they are engaged in an actual crime.”
