As the world waits with bated breath for Donald Trump's crypto policy platform, a suspicious cyberattack has struck the Trump family's social media accounts. The accounts of two family members, Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump, were hacked to promote a scam linked to the family's nascent crypto venture, World Liberty Financial. The hack raises serious questions about the security of the Trump family's online presence and the potential for exploitation by malicious actors.

The hack occurred on Tuesday evening, when Lara Trump's account posted an announcement about the launch of World Liberty Financial, along with several links to the coin and websites claiming to be the "only official channels" of the venture. Tiffany Trump's account followed suit, posting an endorsement and a website link. However, the website linked to in the Trump family posts had been created earlier that day, registered via an anonymous domain hosting platform called Njalla Okta LLC.

This raises several red flags. Njalla Okta was created by a cofounder of The Pirate Bay, a dark-web marketplace, making it nearly impossible for the public to trace the identity of the person behind the fake World Liberty Financial sites. Furthermore, the fact that the website was created anonymously suggests that the individuals behind the hack may be trying to conceal their identities.

As the news of the hack broke, Eric Trump's account appeared to be compromised as well, with a post warning that his wife and sister's profiles had been hacked. However, the posts, including Eric Trump's warning, have since been deleted. The swift deletion of the posts raises questions about the Trump family's response to the hack and whether they are taking adequate measures to protect their online presence.

The hack also highlights the potential risks and vulnerabilities of the Trump family's crypto venture. With the family's high profile and influence, it is likely that their crypto venture will attract significant attention and scrutiny. The fact that the hack occurred at a time when the family is preparing to release their crypto policy platform suggests that the hack may be an attempt to discredit the Trump family or to disrupt their plans.
