Hack of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ‘Similar’ to DNC Breach
Another Democratic Party group confirmed Friday it has been hacked and said the breach was “similar” to a cyber strike on the Democratic National Committee, which has been blamed on the Russians.
A senior U.S. official told NBC News that the FBI is investigating the intrusion on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s computer system but that agents have not yet found a link to the earlier DNC hack.
The Kremlin has denied it is behind either breach — and a top official responded to the allegations on Friday by denouncing a “poisonous anti-Russian” narrative coming out of Washington.
The latest disclosure is escalating concern among U.S. national security officials that the intrusions are aimed at swaying the outcome of the presidential election.
