Attack targets Trump website, Gawker posts old cell number
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's corporate website was the target of a cyberattack Monday, the same day a celebrity gossip website published an old mobile telephone number for the billionaire businessman.
Aides to Trump said hackers were able to access non-public pages inside Trump.com, where they posted a tribute to comedian and late-night talk show host Jon Stewart.
The aides described the episode as a prank and not a serious threat. They said the hackers' temporary entry into a low-level page was not connected to any of Trump.com's navigational components, compromised no corporate information and was fixed in less than 30 minutes.
