FBI: Consultant for Katie Hill likely culprit in 2018 cyber attack on her primary opponent
The complaint names Dam as the person who allegedly carried out the cyberattacks on the Caforio campaign. Federal campaign records show that Hill’s campaign paid someone named Arthur Dam $500 for “graphic design and website security consultation.”The FBI’s Los Angeles field office led the investigation into the attacks. According to the FBI’s complaint, the attacks “originated from Amazon Web Services, and in particular were tied to a single AWS account, which was controlled by Dam.
The complaint goes on to say, “Dam was found to be connected to the cyberattacks through subscriber information, IP addresses, geolocation history, and open sources, including through his employer and his wife, K.O., who worked for one of the victim’s opponents.” The complaint does not provide Dam’s wife’s full name.
“I’m absolutely shocked and saddened to learn today that Katie Hill’s campaign associates hacked my campaign in order to help her advance through the primary,” Caforio says about the FBI report. “This should serve as a somber reminder that Russia is not the only threat to our democracy. There are bad actors on all sides who will do anything for their own personal gain, and we need to come together as Americans to defend our country and hold everyone responsible accountable.
