Crypto PAC spending before midterms possibly obscured after reported FEC hack

The FEC reported an “electronic filing system outage” on Tuesday as groups are expected to ramp up spending before the US midterm elections. The US Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing system is offline after reports of a hack, potentially obscuring expenditures by super political action committees (PACs) and other groups in the final days before the 2026 midterm elections. As of Tuesday at 7:48 pm UTC, the FEC said it was continuing to experience an “electronic filing system outage,” but was working to resolve the issue.
