Trump Campaign Website Hacked: What Happened
The DNC is not the only political party with computer security issues.
An official Trump campaign fundraising website, secure2.donaldjtrump.com, was hacked just in time for Presidents’ Day by hackers known only as "Pro_Mast3r” who are apparently based out of Iraq. The website was “defaced” by the unknown hackers, who displayed a shadowy figure in a black above the words:
Hacked by Pro_Mast3r ~
Attacker Gov
Nothing Is Impossible
Peace From Iraq
While there has not been an official statement from the White House, the website is officially offline. Fortunately, though the source code does not appear to be malicious, the server contains a link to a now-defunct Google Code account called 'masterendi” that is linked to three other cyberattacks.
