Army Scrambles to Remove Trump Insults on Hacked Military Sites

The U.S. Army has been forced to take a number of its sites offline after their web domains were hijacked and used to insult Donald Trump.

The messages, first reported by cybersecurity news outlet CyberScoop, contained pro-Kurdish slogans along with messaging like “the US president is a pedophile & thief. f–-k trump & tom barrack,” a reference to the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey.

Trump has spent the past two days at a NATO summit hosted by the Middle Eastern country, itself a member of the alliance. Turkey has waged a decades-long conflict with its Kurdish minority centered on the militant PKK, which both Washington and Ankara have designated a terrorist group.
