The Republican National Committee (RNC) confirmed on July 6 that none of its data was accessed in the hacking of a third-party provider, a spokesperson said.

Danielle Alvarez, the RNC’s communications director, released a statement saying that the organization was informed by Microsoft that its systems might have been breached, but that “no RNC data was accessed.” The RNC “will continue to work with Microsoft, as well as federal law enforcement officials on this matter,” according to the statement.
