I assume Trump just didn't pay the guy who made it

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be surprised.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Still defaced as of right now.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

It's a joy to be alive in this moment

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It still is 11 hours later.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still is 13 hours after you. This is amateur hour.

[–] grinde@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still is 3 hours after you. What are we up to, 27 hours and counting?

Still got Crayola all over it, days later...

The guy's twitter password was yourefired when it was hacked, then it was "upgraded" to maga2020! when it was hacked again. The sec researcher told him to add 2FA and a stronger password; he didn't.

So, yeah, not surprised

The hacker, whoever they are, crossed out Trump’s name and appended to the site’s banner β€œAmerica Is Already Great.”

Let's see Donny wriggle his way out of this one!

It's days like this that make me wish I were a 1337 h4x0r.

Whoever did this... you forever have my gratitude and you are an inspiration to us all.

[–] Auzy@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I doubt they needed to be a 1337 H4x0r in this case.

People voting trump generally aren't particularly smart and many of them have probably isolated themselves so much, they probably didn't have much real help.

Furthermore, knowing these kind of people, they probably didn't pay the guy who made it, and they probably defaced it (which wouldn't be a surprise).

The fact its still offline seems to suggest the latter

[–] Gmork@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ha! Ya know, you're probably spot on with this. I think by this point they have a pretty long history of not paying.

Regardless, I still want to be a hacker. 😎

They probably just guessed the password to a WordPress site or something.

I'm surrounded by freaking idiots! β€”Donald Trump/Dr Evil

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He has bragged about never hiring people he thought was smarter then himself.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ah, the Ron DeSantis approach (see Thigh food lol)

THIS IS HOW HILLARY CAN STILL WIN hillgasm

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The most fundraising and winning "billionaire". Incredible how gullible these folks are that send their livelihood to Trumpicana.

[–] dunestorm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

How long before they declare Trumpism as a recognised medical condition?

Days later and it's still hacked...

[–] flan@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

That'll teach him for messing with

JUSTICE!
