The official website of US President Donald Trump has been hacked by an apparent cryptocurrency scam.
His re-election campaign team is investigating the security breach.
"The world has had enough of the fake news spreaded [sic] daily" by the US president, a message on www.donaldjtrump.com briefly displayed.

"Multiple devices were compromised that gave full access to Trump and relatives."
The hackers also claimed to have proof that the US administration "is involved in the origin of the coronavirus" and interfering in the presidential election, which takes place on 3 November.
The message then asked for cryptocurrency donations in exchange for access to this information.

Well, these idiots will be suffering a terrible case of piles from all the Federal law enforcement officers about to up their arses.
It is however another reminder of the importance of proper staff training for cybersecurity. You only need one careless employee...

Then let's remember that guy who claims to have twice accessed Trump's Twitter account by just guessing the password, but was kind enough just to warn the White House. If true... I mean, come on guys.

Yeah they are involved in the origins of the coronavirus alright, a strain was developed in a lab in Canada under a US program. CCP bribed a Canadian scientist to bring to to China where it was worked on in Wuhan, while the original research was halted in Canada because of fears that it was too dangerous. One bad decontamination session later in 2019 and the coronavirus is out and about, mingling around the marketplace thanks to the lab's bad standards.

Didn't it turn out to be MAGA2020! of all things?

And I thought that GUEST password in Archer was a joke.

Man, I have heard some SHIT about things like this. Cybersecurity is highly important but most people who use computers do not fully understand them. This leads to disasters like people taping passwords to their accounts under their keyboard. Or leaving laptops full of confidential material in airport lounges. The list is endless.

Years ago I used to leave PINs in my mobile phone directory. I'd create a fake person with name that related to what the PIN was for (like an PIN for an account with Lloyd's bank could be "Michael Lloyd"), with a fake phone number where the last digits were the PIN. Eventually I decided even that was a bit risky and deleted them.

Honestly, that at least is an effort to, for lack of a better word, encrypt them. A pin is what, 4-6 digits? With all that data they could guess a thousand times and still fuck it up. Of course they could guess it right by accident, but you know, better than just taping "Password" to the bottom of your keyboard >.>

Doesn't surprise me. I mean, he's a complete bumbling idiot.
Still not sure if he's stupid, myself, or if he just knows that however big the mess he makes, it's someone else's job to clean it up. He's not going to face any meaningful consequences for his actions, why bother?

He's had his Twitter compromised twice, his website hacked and replaced with a claim of having compromising information on Trump & co with two bitcoin addresses listed - one to pay to have it released and one to pay to have it kept secret, alleging that whichever address gets the most paid into it will have their will done, and then the Wisconsin Republican Party has $2.3M stolen from them.

I believe he may have been proven wrong. :D

I was going to ask if that's real because it looked like a joke.........and Oh god it's real.

It's offical. Trump has rendered Parody useless. There's no way to parody him because he literally is parody without even realizing it.

I swear this is the stupidest timeline. YES, even more stupid then the timeline in the Super Mario movie.
