Get Permission IT services provider Synnex Corporation, which counts the Republican National Committee as a customer, says on Tuesday that an intrusion attempt against it may be related to Friday's mass ransomware attack. However, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Richard Walters told Information Security Media Group in an emailed statement that no breach of its systems occurred. “Over the weekend, we were informed that Synnex, a third-party provider, had been breached," Walters says. "We immediately blocked all access from Synnex accounts to our cloud environment. Our team worked with Microsoft to conduct a review of our systems and after a thorough investigation, no RNC data was accessed. We will continue to work with Microsoft, as well as federal law enforcement officials on this matter.”
