US FEC website hacked, disrupting campaign finance disclosures before midterms

The US Federal Election Commission's electronic filing system was taken offline following a cyberattack days before the November 3 midterm elections.

The outage prevents political committees from submitting mandatory 24-hour and 48-hour spending reports amidst record campaign expenditures.

AdImpact data shows the current midterms are the most expensive US election in history with approximately $11.21 billion spent so far.
