What appears to have been Russian hackers compromised the website of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Party as well as the sites of seven county Democratic party organizations, said Mary Ginnebaugh, who chairs the congressional district as well as the Brown County Democratic parties.
Russian hackers have been accused on the national level with interfering with the U.S. presidential election by getting into the Democratic National Committees website as well as that of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington.
While no one can prove beyond doubt that Russians also were involved in the local hack job, two hackers left calling cards with Russian email addresses on the local websites in an apparent gesture of contempt or braggadocio, Ginnebaugh said. Green Bay police were notified and have forwarded information to the FBI, she said.
