Late Thursday afternoon, Democratic congressional hopeful Tabitha Isner issued a press release claiming “incidents of ‘brute force attacks’ on her campaign’s main webpage.”
“When investigating the source of these attacks, the website administrator discovered over 1,400 attempts to login to the website as an administrator in the past week,” the release from campaign manager Megan Skipper said. “Of those 1,400 attempts, 1,100 came from Russian I.P. addresses. Russian meddling in U.S. elections continues to be a real and immediate threat.”
Isner faces incumbent Rep. Martha Roby (R-Montgomery), who soundly defeated Bobby Bright in Tuesday’s runoff contest, in November’s Alabama second congressional district election.
“Nothing is more important than the security of American elections,” Isner said in the statement. “I am deeply troubled that the House GOP, including Representative Roby, have allowed partisanship to stand in the way of protecting our basic democratic structures.”
