The hacking collective Anonymous has published some of Donald Trumps personal details as part of its total war against the presidential hopeful.
Listed in the data dump were Trumps cell phone number, social security number and the contact details of his PR and legal representatives, however most of the information appears to have already been publicly available.
In a video released on Thursday, a member of the amorphous collective said that the data was provided for informational purposes only, in the hope that it would assist investigations into this would-be dictator.
When Newsweek called the number listed as Trumps cell phone, the call was redirected to an automated voicemail service that said the mailbox was full. Other numbers listed include Trumps agent Tracy Brennan and Trumps legal representation Manatt Phelps & Phillips. There was no answer from either number.
A group of hackers affiliated with Anonymous tell Newsweek they were able to identify the IP addresses of Trumps various websites, including his campaign site and his business site, allowing them to bypass security measures that are designed to obscure the address and prevent attacks.
With the real IP we could breach his website and leak everything. He obviously isnt as Trumpy as we thought he would be, a member of New World Hackers told Newsweek on Thursday. He has the money, spend it on something useful.
It sounds like their first attack didnt have many repercussions but that doesnt mean their next attack will be as painless

A bunch of 32-year old virgins trying to take down the mighty Donald von Trumpen. I think as long as Trump does not open any suspicious e-mail attachments he should be fine......
