The DNC contacted the FBI “after it detected what it believes was the beginning of a sophisticated attempt to hack into its voter database,” CNN reports.
“The DNC was alerted in the early hours of Tuesday morning by a cloud service provider and a security research firm that a fake login page had been created in an attempt to gather usernames and passwords that would allow access to the party’s database.”
“The page was designed to look like the access page Democratic Party officials and campaigns across the country use to log into a service called Votebuilder, which hosts the database… adding the DNC believed it was designed to trick people into handing over their login details.”
