Washington — Fresh off its shellacking in the 2018 midterm elections, House Republicans suffered another embarrassment on Tuesday when it was revealed that their flagship campaign group was hacked earlier this year and failed to tell senior party members about the attack.
Politico reported that unknown hackers breached the National Republican Congressional Committee, the party’s main vehicle for winning House races, and had access to the email accounts of four senior Nrcc employees. The attack was detected in April, and Nrcc officials alerted the FBI while launching their own internal investigation this spring.

Washington — The FBI has opened an investigation into cyberattacks that targeted a Democratic candidate in a highly competitive congressional primary in southern California.
As Rolling Stone first reported in September, Democrat Bryan Caforio was the victim of what cybersecurity experts believe were distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attacks. The hacks crashed his campaign website on four separate occasions over a five-week span, including several hours before the biggest debate of the primary race and a week before the election itself, according to emails and other forensic data reviewed by Rolling Stone.

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Republican businessman John Cox will face off in the November general election for California governor after landing the top two spots in the state’s primary.
Antonio Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles, trailed and conceded the race.
“It looks like voters are going to have a real choice in November, between a governor who is going to stand up to Donald Trump and a foot soldier in Trump’s war on California,” Newsom told supporters after the race was called.
Cox, a former Illinois resident who ran in multiple elections there, was relatively unknown in the state before President Trump sent out several tweets in support of him in recent weeks.
“One party rule in Sacramento is bad enough, but one party elections is just un-American,” Cox told supporters, referring to the possibility, which seemed very real just a few months ago, that...
