MALICIOUS ATTACK on Michele Bachmann website.

Bachmann for Congress discovered an attack on its website, which resulted in users in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome to receive virus alerts and some to download viruses. After a search with web developers, the offending code was found and removed from the website.

"This malicious attack caused unsuspecting supporters and Internet users to inadvertently download viruses to their computers, and it is disturbing there are people who spend their time and energy on causing havoc to innocent volunteers," Campaign Manager Gina Countryman said. "We take the security of our website and our volunteers very seriously. We took swift action with our developers to find and remove damaging codes and protect our supporters. We have no reason to believe any data was removed, and no contributor lists are housed on our website."

Any supporters who were affected by the attack should run a basic anti-virus program on their computer, and seek help if they need to have any viruses removed. While the offending code has been removed, some security software programs are being notified of the correction and may still have the website flagged.

Democrats must be feeling very, very threatened. Rightly so.
