You knew this was going to happen sooner or later: A server on President Trumps campaign site, donaldjtrump.com was hacked on Sunday and defaced with an image and message from an attacker claiming to hail from Iraq.

Ars Technica noted that secure2.donaldjtrump.com bore an image of a man in a fedora with the following message:

Hacked By Pro_Mast3r ~ Attacker Gov Nothing Is Impossible Peace From Iraq

The pages source code included a link to a JavaScript fileon a defunct Google Code account that was found to be associated with the hacking of at least three other sites but it seems like the snippet was harmless. The server has since gone offline; it didnt seem to be linked from the main sites homepage. Another one at secure.donaldjtrump.com is being used to facilitate secure contributions to the campaign, but there doesnt seem to be a connection to the secure2 server from the site.

A search for Pro_Mast3r didnt surface anything relevant, so it isnt clear exactly who was behind the attack and what purpose it served.

Weve contacted the Trump-Pence campaign team to learn more and will update this post if theres a response.
