Hackers Steal $35,000 from Lincoln Project in Vendor Email Compromise

The anti-Trump super PAC, Lincoln Project, reports a $35,000 loss due to fraudulent transactions following a vendor email hack, with no operational impact.

The Lincoln Project, a prominent anti-Trump super PAC, lost $35,000 to hackers who compromised a vendor's email and sent fake invoices.
The fraudulent transactions were reported to the Federal Election Commission and include a significant payment initially made in February.
Spokesperson Greg Minchak stated that the incident has not affected the group's efforts to promote a democratic future, despite the financial setback.
The hacked vendor, which serves multiple clients including the Lincoln Project, remains unnamed due to privacy concerns.
This theft is part of a broader trend of cyber attacks targeting political committees, with several other high-profile thefts reported this year.
