President Trump's campaign website appeared to have been hacked Tuesday night, briefly displaying an anti-Trump message and a solicitation for cryptocurrency payments.
Whoever posted the message, which used FBI and Department of Justice logos to parody a notice put on websites seized by the U.S. government, claimed to have compromised devices belonging to Mr. Trump and his relatives. The message said the person had obtained evidence that "completely discredits" Mr. Trump, and asked for money to be deposited in either of two Monero cryptocurrency accounts — one under the header "Yes, share the data," and the other "No, do not share the data."
Personally, I look for better spelling when judging whether a source of information is reliable, but some people here seem to be less focused on evidences of book-larnin'. Regardless, the hack itself is newsworthy.
Listen to your local public health authorities. Listen to your local election officials.
