A huge hack is happening right now on Reddit with victims of dozens of channels of the service that have been violated and distorted to display messages in support of Donald Trump's re-election campaign.

The breaches are still ongoing, but the Reddit security team is aware of the issue and has already begun repairing the breached channels.reddit trump - Reddit dozens of channels hacked for the sake of Donald Trump

Reddit security team has not provided any official notification of the breach, but the scale of the incident suggests that attackers may have gained access to a high-level coordinator or administrator account.

Owners of troubled channels were asked to report them on the Reddit thread ModSupport.

The hack on Reddit comes after Reddit was banned r / The_Donald, a channel for Donald Trump supporters, in late June. Reddit said it had decided to shut down the channel for breaking the rules following reports of harassment, intimidation and threats of violence.
