US Republican National Committee contractor hacked

Russian-backed group suspected of being behind breach, raising pressure on Biden administration

The US Republican National Committee is co-operating with law enforcement officials after it emerged that one of its contractors had been hacked, but said that its own data had not been accessed.

Richard Walters, RNC chief of staff, said that the political committee had been informed over the weekend “that Synnex, a third party provider, had been breached”. He added: “We immediately blocked all access from Synnex accounts to our cloud environment.” 

A Russian state-backed cyber espionage group known as Cozy Bear is suspected of hacking Synnex, according to one person briefed on the matter. Also known as APT 29, the group has been linked to the hacking and theft of emails from the Democratic National Committee ahead of the 2016 US election.
