In February, scammers tricked the anti-Donald Trump Super PAC, the Lincoln Project, out of $35,000 through a business email compromise (BEC) scam.

The scam involved cybercriminals initiating “fraudulent” transactions, as reported by Raw Story.

The Lincoln Project, known for its anti-Trump advertisements and frequent appearances by its leaders on cable news, attributed the loss to hackers targeting one of its vendors.

Upon discovering the hack, the vendor quickly notified all affected parties, and the Lincoln Project’s compliance firm took immediate action to address the situation. This included alerting the bank’s fraud department and strengthening procedures for verifying invoices and payments.

Spokesman Greg Minchak explained that the breach happened when hackers gained access to the vendor’s email account and sent invoices that appeared legitimate, affecting several clients, including the Lincoln Project.

Despite the incident, Minchak assured that their efforts in advocating for a democratic future remained unaffected.

Minchak did not reveal the vendor’s identity, citing a commitment to the vendor’s privacy.

Federal Election Commission records show that the Lincoln Project made significant payments to various vendors in the first quarter of 2024.

The Record noted that the Lincoln Project reported two disputed transactions to the Commission, one for $20,000 and another for $15,000, labeled as “fraudulent” and “under dispute.”

The Lincoln Project was established in 2019 by a group of Republican strategists opposed to Donald Trump’s re-election.

The super PAC gained substantial attention and support, raising over $80 million during 2020.

Resist The Mainstream reported on one of the Lincoln Project’s controversies from two years ago, where five individuals posed with tiki torches in front of a tour bus for Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial candidate, Glenn Youngkin.

The Lincoln Project faced accusations of orchestrating the “tiki torch stunt.”

Former President Donald Trump pledged to sue the organization in 2022 over a contentious ad targeting him.

Trump criticized the Lincoln Project on Truth Social, referring to them as “perverts and lowlifes” and pointing out that they appeared on Fox News.

He went on to say he believed they had retreated after their last disastrous campaign and accusations of serious misconduct.

Rick Wilson, the polarizing co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, later released a video challenging Trump, saying, “Go ahead … bring it on. We welcome the idea of you suing us, Donald. You’re not going to sue anyone. If you want to attempt it, give it a try.”

Wilson’s video was released a day after he appeared on MSNBC, where he said someone would “have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.”
