( CNN) A former US House candidate in California told CNN on Wednesday that his campaign to unseat Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher was hacked, the latest example of alleged cyberattacks interfering with US elections.
“They wanted full control of my email, ” Kierstead said. “They were fairly sophisticated. Mimicking personalities in order to extract money and info. It was pretty amazing how sophisticated it was.”
It's unclear where the cyberattack Kierstead alleges originated or if it was a targeted attack.
