How Was Reddit Defaced?

More than 70 Reddit communities were defaced with messages in support of President Donald Trump over the weekend. Reddit says the compromised accounts did not have two-factor authentication enabled. A now-suspended Twitter account, @advanceHCAjobs, claimed responsibility for the attack. Reddit has not named anyone suspected of launching the attack, but it has not released a full postmortem on the incident. Experts say social engineering and credential stuffing attacks are likely to have been used in this type of attack.”]
