DNC alerts FBI after detecting sophisticated effort to hack voter database: Report

The Democratic National Committee alerted the FBI on Tuesday that it had detected an advanced effort to hack into its voter database, according to a new report.

A cloud service provider and security research firm contacted the DNC early Tuesday that a fake login page had been created to try to collect usernames and passwords that would give access to the party’s database, a source told CNN.

The page appeared to look like the access page Democratic Party officials and campaigns use to log into Votebuilder, which hosts the voter database, the CNN report said.

It's Trump's fault.

Turned out this was fake news and that they were testing the system themselves. MSM reported the first story, did not hear any correction once the DNC retracted it.
