Hackers roubam US$ 2,3 milhões da campanha de Trump à reeleição


O presidente do Partido Republicano de Wisconsin, nos Estados Unidos, Andrew Hitt, revelou na quinta-feira (29) que hackers roubaram US$ 2,3 milhões da conta do Partido. A quantia objetivava eventuais ações relacionadas à campanha para reeleição do atual presidente do país, Donald Trump. O FBI foi acionado e prossegue investigando a origem do crime.De acordo com Hitt, movimentações suspeitas foram percebidas no dia 22 de outubro, sendo que no dia seguinte, as autoridades policiais já haviam sido informadas sobre o caso. O que se sabe até agora é que os criminosos roubaram a quantia por meio da adulteração de faturas de quatro fornecedores que estavam sendo pagos para enviar esforços para a reeleição de Trump, bem como para fornecer material de campanha.Neste sentido, a manipulação dos números foi realizada de forma que quando o Partido pagasse a quantia, o dinheiro fosse diretamente para a conta dos hackers. ReproduçãoRoubo pode prejudicar reeleição de Trump em um dos estados mais importantes do pleito. Créditos: Evan El-Amin/ShutterstockAlém do montante roubado, os responsáveis pelo crime também tentaram iniciar um ataque de phishing.O presidente do Partido ainda explica que o dinheiro estaria sendo guardado para possíveis ações, que precisariam ser desenvolvidas rapidamente, durante os últimos dias de campanha presidencial. Hitt destacou que com o evento, o Partido fica em desvantagem frente ao pleito.Cabe destacar que o estado localizado no centro-oeste dos EUA é crucial no resultado das eleições, sendo uma das principais regiões na batalha pela Casa Branca. Por isso, Trump já visitou Wisconsin duas vezes apenas nesta semana e planejava uma terceira ida à região nesta sexta-feira (30). O rival direto do atual presidente americano e candidato à presidência pelo partido Democrata, Joe Biden, também planejou fazer campanha no estado nesta sexta.Site hackeadoNão é a primeira vez que hackers tentam prejudicar as ações de Trump em direção à permanência no cargo. Nesta semana, o site da campanha do presidente foi hackeado e substituído por uma página para coletar criptomoedas.Além disso, uma mensagem dizia que "o mundo está farto das notícias falsas espalhadas diariamente pelo presidente Donald J. Trump. É hora de permitir que o mundo saiba a verdade".Via: Associated Press
