RNC Accuses Russian Hackers of Breaching One of Its Technology Providers

Russian hackers are accused of breaching a contractor for the Republican National Committee, around the same time that Russian cybercriminals launched the single largest global ransomware attack on record, incidents that are testing the red lines set by President Biden during his high-stakes summit with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia last month. The RNC said in a statement that one of its technology providers, Synnex, had been hacked. While the extent of the attempted breach remained unclear, the committee said none of its data had been accessed.
