Donal Trump’s presidential re-election campaign website was briefly highjacked on Tuesday by hackers who defaced the site. The highjacking lasted less than 30 minutes, although hackers still managed to take over the site despite law enforcement and intelligence agencies being on high alert for digital interferences leading up to the election next week.
Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for the Trump campaign said in a statement that they can confirm that the site was defaced and that they are “working with law enforcement authorities to investigate the source of the attack.” He added, “There was no exposure to sensitive data because none of it is actually stored on the site. The website has been restored.”
