Hackers for Hillary gets boost from Trump comments
Talk about a comment back-firing. Donald Trump continues to face fallout after saying he hopes Russian hackers find Hillary Clinton's "missing" emails.
At a press conference in Florida last month, the Republican presidential nominee said he hopes Russia tracks down 30,000 personal emails that Clinton deleted from her tenure as secretary of state. Trump's campaign later said the candidate was being "sarcastic."
Trump's comments may have convinced some cybersecurity experts to rally behind Clinton.
Around 60 security professionals attended a Hackers for Hillary event, held Wednesday night at the Black Hat hackers conference in Las Vegas, reported the Guardian. The group raised about $30,000.
The part that might nettle Trump is the event didn't gain steam until after his proposal to Russia.
"Maybe 12 people had RSVP'd until then," Jake Braun, CEO of Cambridge Global Advisors and co-organizer of the event, told the Guardian. "It went through the roof after that. It really helps when you have Donald Trump giving Russia a pass on hacking our democracy."
Hackers for Hillary gets boost from Trump comments
Well, considering the extreme low quality of candidates for president by the GOP and Dems, hacking wars could raise my interest as I contemplate which third party candidate I will vote for in November
As a side note, I'd love to see what Trump is hiding in his hidden for life, tax returns. We all know it would be bad for Trump if a Black Hat gets the returns and publishes them.
