On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump's campaign website fell victim to hackers.
“This site has been hijacked. — said in a message that briefly appeared on the page at donaldjtrump.com — The world is tired of the daily fake news. It's time to find out the truth. «
The message claimed that the hackers have information that «discredits» the president and his family — and the unknown are allegedly ready to both disclose and hide the data in exchange for cryptocurrency.
Soon the site went offline, and after a while it started working as usual.
Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murteau confirmed that the website was hacked and that the incumbent's representatives are now «working with law enforcement to find out the source of the attack.»
“[The hackers] did not gain access to the confidential data because it is not actually stored on the site. — he added — Now the site has been restored.
Earlier this month, a cybersecurity expert said he was able to access Trump's Twitter account — not by hacking, but by guessing the password. The expert claimed that he did it on 5 attempts.
