For people that can't grok the title and the article like me:
- BasedApparel.com is a website owned by a person that happens to be the FBI director now. (he owned it before he became the director if it matters)
- The website BasedApparel.com was hacked and the hackers added a malicious click here to verify you are human section that tried to have you download a malicious payload if you were on macos.
> he owned it before he became the director if it matters
All the more reason that those who "serve" in the government should be required to divest of their business interests. The traffic such a site would get due to the tribalism prevalent in US politics makes it a fat target, and potentially a national security threat.

What next? The trump phone shipping Chinese malware. Unthinkable!

Why not both?
> The attack suggests a hacker compromised some portion of BasedApparel.com
And once again, another prime example that we do not live in a serious country
