Late yesterday, Kevin Beaumont, a cyber security architect, tweeted out this.
What this means is that, according to Beaumont, Trump corp email servers and systems are as secure as a Miss Teen USA’s dressing room is at a Trump-hosted event.
“Running outdated software and operating systems for your publicly facing email infrastructure is problematic, especially when you're a high profile organisation,” security architect Kevin Beaumont, who highlighted the issues with Trump’s servers, told Motherboard in an email. “During an election where cybersecurity is such a big issue, I was a little amazed at what I saw.”
A number of mail servers for TrumpOrg.com, a domain registered to The Trump Organization, are using end-of-life software, according to Beaumont. Those include the operating system Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0, which comes shipped with it.
“IIS is a webserver, and it’s particularly dangerous to run unpatched,” Beaumont told Motherboard.
One of the more frightening lapses in judgement at a time when cyber security is high on the list of concerns as we enter our brave new millennium.
