The Republican Party of Wisconsin recently confirmed that fraudsters used phishing emails and doctored invoices to steal $2.3 million earmarked for President Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

According to a statement posted Thursday, the Republican political organization, which is operating in a battleground state for next week's presidential election, discovered on October 22 that it had been victimized by a phishing attack. "On Friday morning, October 23rd, we notified the FBI that as a result of this cyberattack, hackers obtained $2.3 million through doctored invoices under the name of WisGOP vendors," said the organization.
