Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon claims the the FBI told him his emails were hacked on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
Bacon shared the news on Twitter Tuesday, claiming he received a notice from the FBI telling him Chinese hackers had accessed his personal and campaign emails between May 15 to June 16 this year.“The CCP [Communist Chinese Party] hackers utilized a vulnerability in the Microsoft software, and this was not due to ‘user error,’” Bacon wrote.
Bacon’s press secretary told Gizmodo the representative received an alert from Microsoft on June 16 telling him he may have been targeted in the hack and advised him to change his password. Bacon received a separate alert from the FBI on Monday telling him his emails had been accessed by hackers working at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party.
