“The Office of the Chief Administrative Officer was notified by iConstituent that their e-newsletter system was hit with a ransomware attack. iConstituent’s e-newsletter system is an external service available for House offices to purchase. At this time, the CAO is not aware of any impact to House data,” Szpindor said in a statement to the news outlet.
“The CAO is coordinating with the impacted offices supported by iConstituent and has taken measures to ensure that the attack does not affect the House network and offices’ data,” she added.
According to its website, iConstituent provides a “Constituent Engagement Platform” which “makes it easy to connect with constituents and collaborate on casework.” The website says the provider offers a “single platform where you can easily connect with constituents, collaborate on casework, and manage all internal and external communications.”
According to Punchbowl, the provider’s clients also include Hawaii, Nevada, Los Angeles and East Palo Alto, Calif.
Additionally, the New York State Assembly also reportedly uses the platform. LINK

Since we seem to be able to track these people down and get money back why doesn't the CIA actually do something useful and terminate these hacker pricks with extreme prejudice.
but wait it is more important to help with hatchet jobs on patriots.

Probably the hackers the FBI stole the pipeline ransom money from.
Would have been better if the FBI itself had gotten hacked.
Probably a bunch of shite hidden on those servers we would like to read.
