The National Rifle Association (NRA) confirmed that it was the victim of a ransomware attack in October. According to a filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the NRA’s political action committee (PAC) describes how on October 20th, 2021, the organization’s “network was taken offline for two weeks” due to a ransomware attack. Due to the NRA’s inability to “access email or network files until the second week of November,” the organization failed to record over $2,500 in donations, which prompted the filing.
