The President's team is investigating the hack of the official page and says that "sensitive data was notstolen because they are not stored on the site.”
At the moment, the resource has been restored.
Screenshots shared online show that the website briefly displayed a message accompanied by FBI and US Department of Justice icons.
“It's time to let the world know the truth,” – says the text on the website.
The hackers said they have evidence that the US administration is "involved in the creation of the coronavirus" and is preparing to rig the US presidential elections on November 3.
The scammers offered two Monero wallets, forwhich users could send assets. Depending on the chosen wallet, the user voted on whether the hackers should publish incriminating evidence or not. One wallet is named "Yes, provide data" and the other – “No, do not provide data.” The notice mentions a “deadline” after which the amount of funds in the two addresses will be compared, but does not specify the exact date of publication of the incriminating evidence.
There is no evidence to back up the hackers' claims, and the Trump campaign denies losing any sensitive data.
