No goatse or lemon party what the hell is the matter with kids these days dont even know how to deface a webpage

[โ€“] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be surprised.

[โ€“] mp3@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Still defaced as of right now.

[โ€“] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It's a joy to be alive in this moment

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

It still is 11 hours later.

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

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

[โ€“] 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?

[โ€“] library_napper@monyet.cc 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

America is already great

clueless

The hacker, whoever they are, crossed out Trumpโ€™s name and appended to the siteโ€™s banner โ€œAmerica Is Already Great.โ€

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

Status update: still defaced!

[โ€“] BobKerman3999@feddit.it 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So what are the chances it hasn't been defaced but this is just another way of being in the news? It is particularly harmless

[โ€“] haganbmj@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Good way to play victim too.

[โ€“] jmbmkn@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

This is always my worry too. It would be impossible, but I'm curious if ignoring people who act this way would be effective.

[โ€“] Gmork@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] 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

[โ€“] 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. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

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

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

[โ€“] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[โ€“] dunestorm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

  2. "America is already great" ๐Ÿคฎ
[โ€“] Psythik@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was my biggest issue with the hack as well. America was never great.

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

[โ€“] flan@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

That'll teach him for messing with

JUSTICE!
