Members’ Websites Hacked

House.gov websites were recently hacked and there’s an investigation into how it happened, according to Roll Call.

House officials say that the hacker accessed the site by guessing passwords assigned to Member offices by GovTrends, a Web design company that hosts the sites of about 100 Members. Some offices never changed the passwords, which GovTrends founder Ab Emam called “obvious” and easy to guess.
