A small software company wants to give political campaigns a free tool designed to block hackers from gaining access to their files, but the FEC may prevent that from happening.
In a draft notice posted Monday, FEC lawyersby Silicon Valley startup Area 1 Security to allow it to offer cybersecurity software for free to political campaigns.
Russian military hackers used a spearphishing attack to gain illegal access to the email accounts of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman in 2016, according to the special counsel's report. "Microsoft plans to offer this service for a variety of commercial reasons beyond mere promotion or goodwill, most notably to protect its brand reputation, which would be at risk of severe and long-term damage if the accounts of its election sensitive customers were hacked," the commission ruled in October 2018.
"Area 1 would not be receiving any benefit in preserving an existing client relationship or otherwise receiving any other compensation beyond nominal payment," the draft opinion says.
