Our Democratic Zoom meeting was hacked with "Death to Democrats", and Trump Emperor God stuff

Pretty much the same as DU 2016 hack.

We only had 36 in the room. It was an orientation type meeting. She starts sharing her screen and suddenly weird writing appears on her screen. Then it got worse. Then there was this really strange shouting with "Donald Trump is going to kill all Democrats", "Democrats are going to die" etc etc.

So, we stopped the meeting. Got back on it happened again. This time it was much worse. Porn showed up and there was all sorts of profanity about Democrats. Then my voice was hacked. I was trying to communicate that I was not the troll, and all of a sudden my voice turned into the troll voice. It was like something out of the exorcist.

I'm not much looking for advice as much I wanted to "share". I know DU was hacked. And this was so similar. There were no Russians involved. Just a bunch of local right wingers.

The invite for the event was sent to a group of trusted Democrats via email. (Email contained link) The email could have easily been forwarded.

We shut down the meeting again and the host did something different and the meeting proceeded.

Just thought I would share.

About LeftInTX

Always a Democrat. I can't understand conservatives. I try to understand them, but I can't. They don't make sense. Our country has gone so far right since 1981. I was just an average American who took many Democratic values for granted when Reagan was elected. It was like the rug was pulled out from under our society. Reagan ruined our country.
