Canadian hacktivists TelecomixCanada have defaced Donald Trump's website. The message, entitled "Your Moment of Zen, Mr Stewart" is a shoutout to Jon Stewart of the Daily Show for his steady criticism of Donald Trump.
The announcement was made by TelecomixCanada on pastebin and says that the reveal of the server penetration is in honour of the last week of Stewart's tenure helming the Daily Show on Comedy Central.
The defacement is most likely a basic compromise of the website's CMS. The CMS looks to be pretty basic and, to be perfectly honest, pretty awful. A cursory look at the source code for trump.com's main page reveals a number of attack points and directories that have been "cleverly" obfuscated from standardised penetration toolkits by adding an underscore in front.
For one example issue see the use of version 1.4.4 of the jQuery library. This version of the library was released on November 11, 2010. The current release of the jQuery 1.x branch is 1.11.3 and was released on April 28, 2015.
