Political Hacks

Hackers hijack votehillary.org and insert Obama content


Both candidates have now been subjected to hacks with the latest example being a POST request to the Vote Hillary website and injects an iframe, causing the site to display the contents of Barack Obama’s website. Prior attacks have simply redirected the user’s browser to the other candidates website – this one is a little more insidious as it leaves the original URL in the client’s browser.

Coming on the heels of Hillary’s $10M donation day, this sort of activity could mean real trouble for candidates if one of their primary communication and fund raising methods is decommissioned.
