An anonymous group of hackers has been in control of the Republican Party of Kentucky’s website since Sunday.
RPK Chairman Steve Robertson told Pure Politics he has contacted the website’s designers and host, but because of the Memorial Day holiday staffers will not be able to begin addressing the problem until later Monday. Robertson was notified of the hack Sunday afternoon, he said.
The reason for the attack at this point in time is unknown.
“I don’t know anything other than it’s been hacked and the people who can address it will be able to begin addressing it this evening,” Robertson said.

Maybe someone tied to ISIS...What better a cover would it be to blame it on a very well known hacking group?
Kicking the Turtle in the ass. No one deserves it more.
