Cyberthieves jacked a U.S. senator's campaign and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars
Raw StoryCyberthieves stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the campaign committee of U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, and the FBI is investigating, according to a federal document reviewed by Raw Story. Republic County Sheriff's Office representative Beth Ball referred Raw Story's questions about the Moran campaign theft to the FBI, which did not respond to a request for comment. Joining Moran among the federal-level politicians to experience thefts from their campaign accounts in recent years is President Joe Biden, whose 2020 Democratic presidential campaign committee lost at least $71,000. The FEC, spokesman Christian Hilland said, has instituted a "safe harbor" provision that encourages political committees to establish "internal controls" that help "prevent misappropriations and associated misreporting" of their campaign finance accounting.
