Planned attacks a response to candidate's controversial campaign rhetoric, hacking collective says.
 In a reprise of numerous similar campaigns from the past, the Anonymous hacktivist collective has announced plans to disrupt Donald Trump’s presidential campaign by launching cyberattacks on websites associated with the controversial candidate, starting April 1.
In a message on Anonymous’ YouTube channel, an individual purporting to a be spokesman for the collective urged those aligned with its cause to shut down Trump campaign websites and to “expose what he doesn’t want the public to know.”
The spokesman, wearing the group’s signature Guy Fawkes mask, described the planned attacks as a response to Trump’s “appalling actions and ideas” in running his presidential campaign. “We need to dismantle his campaign and sabotage his brand,” the masked spokesman exhorted viewers.
The Trump attack announcement, with its usual colorful rhetoric, has raised some predictable questions about whether Anonymous is really capable any longer of mustering the support needed to launch a disruptive cyber campaign against the leading Republican presidential candidate.
Rene Paap, security evangelist at A10 Networks says the Trump campaign appears to have foreseen the threat and protected its domain by using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service.

I must add here though that I do not like Clinton or Trump and I pity you lot whoever gets in.
If I did live over there I would be at a loss who to vote for.
 
Any way to get back onto topic I don't think any campaign should be disrupted like that no matter what a persons particular bias is.

I have to admit that this campaign by both sides Democrates and Republicans has been very interesting. The media loves it and is making millions on what is going on. What is important the people will vote whom they want for president and we we have to live with it for at least 4 years.

     Who's the best choice ?????????????????????  Take your choice
