Hillary Clinton Wikipedia Page Vandalized With Pornographic Images, Pro-Trump Message

Source: Slate



Above: A hacked version of Hillary Clinton's Wikipedia page that appeared for a short time Thursday (the actual page since been restored). We've blurred out the pornographic bits and references to a specific Twitter handle that appears to belong to a woman who has not used her account to express political opinions and does not have any obvious link to Donald Trump or the hack.

For those who are blissfully unaware, cuck is a term of derision commonly used by Trump fans on the white nationalist internet.

Update, 4:15 p.m.: A Twitter user claiming affiliation with a right-wing troll group has taken responsibility for the vandalism.

The message read:

Reminder that voting for Hillary Clinton this Novmeber [sic] means proving how much of a spineless, boring cuck you are. Nuclear war will be inevitable, as will be Bill Clinton raping more women and children. Save the America you know and love by voting for Donald Trump. Also girls send as pics to @Meepysheepy.

This message has been brought to you by Meepsheep and the Gay Nigger Association of America. Thank you for your time.

for having a dedicated round the clock team to monitor websites

I was part of an online group in 2000 which was open to the public, not
much functionality at that time so you couldn't lock people out, and we
had to monitor 24/7 and catch them in the act. It got them really ticked
off.

How sad that human beings take delight in such viciousness. They are not happy people.

I'm almost at a loss for words.

The sick pieces of filth who did that are everywhere, literally. They are a cancerous boil on the ass of America.

Crude I know but OMFG.

A common template used by that article and several others
(including Chelsea Clinton's) was vandalized. It should have
been protected because it was widely used, but this trick
has been done before.

I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have protected Clinton's Wikipedia entry from malicious changes, as they do other public figures' when the possibility of vandalism is heightened.

Apparently these morons didn't know that Wiki pages can be very quickly reverted.

I've been on the side of 4chan, reddit, 8chan, and many other dark web places. I've seen much worse than this and the kinds of vile humans that roam those sites. Not pretty. Luckily they got it fixed.
