The Connecticut Attorney General has released a statement saying that his office will investigate the alleged hacking of Lieberman’s campaign web site:
âI have received a complaint from Sen. Liebermanâs campaign asking my office to investigate the hacking of his campaign web site. I will investigate potential violations of anti-hacking provisions of our state computer crimes laws that are specifically within my jurisdiction. I will also work with the State Elections Enforcement Commission, and state and federal criminal authorities concerning possible violations of state election statutes, and federal election protections and other laws. We will seek civil and criminal penalties, where appropriate.â
Tom Carson, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Connecticut, confirmed that his office had also received a criminal complaint from the Lieberman campaign regarding what they termed attacks on their site, but would not comment further. A criminal complaint does not mean that the office will necessarily open an investigation.
Lieberman’s spokesman said that they’d also filed a complaint with Connecticut’s Chief State’s Attorney. A spokesman there had no comment.
