Holy cow, they stink at security

There is a lot of conjecture in the article about who could be behind all of these attacks. I think that is a little misguided, this early into any investigation. Seems as if ABC News is pushing a particular storyline in this article. Regardless, The Trump Organization really sucks at cybersecurity.

Many of the addresses were not being used by Trump. Businesses and public figures commonly buy addresses for possible future use or to prevent them from falling into the hands of rivals or enemies. The Trump Organization and its affiliates own at least 3,300 in all.

According to security experts, the hackers hijacked the addresses by penetrating and altering the domain registration records housed at GoDaddy.com, a seller of web addresses.
