up arrow Trump’s cyber-guru Giuliani runs ancient ‘easily hackable website’

A good way to undermine your “security” brand is to launch a website rife with publicly known exploits.

But how does this even happen? If Rudy Giuliani erred on the side of eye-candy, if he relied on designers instead of infosec specialists, then he’d still have a website built with the most contemporary tools. Designers love new stuff. Instead giulianisecurity.com was built on an end-of-life PHP (5.4) and Joomla (3.1.1). His team exposed LDAP, sshd and mysql — all of which were old and EOL’d.

We can’t trust these people to set up our DVRs, let alone harden our country’s cyber infrastructure.  It’s stunning, really.
