MASSIVE Hack Attack Hits Reddit, Several Channels Defaced With ProTrump Banners. Hackers on Friday, hijacked and defaced several high profile channels(subreddits) with messages of support for President Trump re-election campaign. Channels affected include those of NFL, many TV shows, The Pirate Bay, Disneyland, Disney's Avengers, several city channels, and more. A Reddit spokesperson said in a statement to Digital Trends: “An investigation is underway related to a series of vandalized communities. It appears the source of the attacks were compromised moderator accounts. We are working to lock down those accounts and restore impacted communities.” Reddit shutdown a popular pro-Trump channel r/The_Donald in June. Most of its subscribers migrated to free speech social network Gab which has recently emerged as the popular destination for those who have been kicked out by other big tech platforms. http://www.keneci.com
