According to the daily mail the new trump social media site was hacked and fake profiles created

if this is based on Mastodon, is this an older version or are there some genuine security concerns here that can affect other instances.

@zleap Or they just set up the server poorly and it has nothing to do with Mastodon

@matrix +1 however it is always worth asking these questions, as if this was due to a problem the community can fix it.

Article suggests mastodon is vulnerable, so reputational damage needs to be limited.

As I said to @freemo just poor reporting and technology knowledge.
