Trump Hotels website appears to be under DDoS attack by hackers
The website for Donald Trump's chain of hotels appears to be under attack from hackers trying to DDoS the website.
According to reports from the Daily Dot, the Trump Hotels website was displaying a notice that it was “Checking your browser before accessing Trumphotels.com” when visitors tried to access the home page. Such notifications are a strong indication that a site is struggling from a massive amount of traffic that a DDoS attack brings.
The problem was first noticed by Philip Bump, a correspondent for the Washington Post. In a Twitter update, he uploaded an image taken from the website showing a SQL query error that said that “User Trumphotels already has more than ‘max_user_connections' active connections SQL: SELECT id, cname, nativename, code FROM languages. An error has been encountered while accessing the database. Please try again later.”
