Five most alarming revelations about progressive group ActBlue's fundraising platform

In the months leading up to the hotly contested 2024 elections, prominent Democratic and progressive fundraising platform ActBlue has faced accusations of lax security, potential donor fraud and has been the subject of a last-minute congressional probe. 

Here are the most recent developments: 

• The House Oversight Committee formally subpoenaed ActBlue for records related the hundreds of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated by the Treasury Department’s anti-money laundering system related to the platform. 
• Separately, the House Administration Committee subpoenaed the platform this week demanding the massive fund-raising platform turn over records on how it confirms donors' identities and endures no fraud or money laundering occurs with contributions going to Democratic candidates and groups, specifically from foreign adversary countries Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and China. 
• Earlier this month, a state-level probe into ActBlue expanded to include 19 state attorneys general who are pressing the company on its security practices after reports ActBlue has been used to launder foreign money or craft donations in people’s names without their permission. 
• Longtime GOP consultant Mark Block sued the company alleging he is a victim of identity theft in a conspiracy to abuse the massive ActBlue fundraising platform. He said he discovered that an old campaign email from 2021 was being used to make donations in his name to the ActBlue platform.
