Donald Trump’s Website Hacked By Iraqi Hacker

Donald Trump’s website hacked, defaced by attacker supposedly from Iraq

A hacker called โ€˜Pro_Mast3rโ€™ claiming to be from Iraq has taken the responsibility for defacing the US President Donald Trumpโ€™s website that took place on Sunday.

While the website is not directly linked to Trumpโ€™s presidential campaign fundraising home page, the server: secure2.donaldjtrump.com is behind Cloudflareโ€™s content management and security platform, according to ArsTechnica.

While the certificate of the server is legitimate and looks like a real Trump campaign server, the image displayed is linked to some other website. The picture shows a man in black fedora with the following given text:

The source code of the hacked server does not comprise of any malicious script, according to Italian IT journalist Paolo Attivissimo. Instead, it is an animated script which also includes a link to javascript on a now-nonexistent Google Code account, masterendi, previously associated with the hacking of at least three other websites. In his blog, Attivissimo has deemed the hacker “very amateurish”.

The identity of the hacker still remains unclear.
