http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/abc-fbi-investigating-attempted-cyberattack-trump-organization?utm_content=bufferbb571&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=bufferA recent attempted overseas cyberattack against the Trump Organization is under investigation by the FBI, ABC News reported Friday.
The article did not mention the country or region of the world where the alleged hack originated. But investigating the computer network of the Presidents company would be delicate for the FBI, given that the bureaus agents are currently probing possible ties between Trump campaign associates and Russian operatives working to influence the 2016 election.
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the family real estate business, declined to confirm or deny whether he and his brother Donald Jr. were brought to the FBIs New York headquarters to discuss the attempted hack, as ABC reported. He denied the companys systems were compromised.

Anonymous law enforcement officials told ABC that President Donald Trumps sons were brought in to discuss the attempted hack on May 8, the day before the President abruptly fired FBI director James Comey.

He's bound to fuck it up, call the FBI for help and then go to prison with his daddy.

Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago. We Tested It.
Two weeks ago, on a sparkling spring morning, we went trawling along Floridas coastal waterway. But not for fish.
We parked a 17-foot motor boat in a lagoon about 800 feet from the back lawn of the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, and pointed a two-foot wireless antenna that resembled a potato gun toward the club. Within a minute, we spotted three weakly encrypted Wi-Fi networks. We could have hacked them in less than five minutes, but we refrained.
A few days later, we drove through the grounds of the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., with the same antenna and aimed it at the clubhouse. We identified two open Wi-Fi networks that anyone could join without a password. We resisted the temptation.
We also visited two of President Donald Trumps other family-run retreats, the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., and a golf club in Sterling, Va. Our inspections found weak and open Wi-Fi networks, wireless printers without passwords, servers with outdated and vulnerable software, and unencrypted login pages to back-end databases containing sensitive information...
