In a significant development in the ongoing investigation led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the major Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue has agreed to enhance its security measures by requiring the inclusion of CVV codes for credit card donations.
This change comes after Paxton’s office issued a supplemental civil investigative demand in December 2023, following numerous allegations of fraud facilitated through the platform.
ActBlue, a prominent fundraising tool primarily used by Democratic candidates and organizations, has faced scrutiny for allegedly allowing donors to bypass critical security protocols.
One of the central issues in Paxton’s investigation is ActBlue’s previous failure to require donors to provide their Card Verification Value (CVV) codes when making credit card donations.
