While I don't support or encourage hacking, this event was rather memorable and amusing. Someone hacked democraticunderground.com on election day 2016. This caused countless automated posts that read simply "God Emperor: Trump is god emperor and he will win." Also, visitors to the site were treated to a patriotic, pro-Trump video.
One of the biggest disappointments of my life is DU being down on November 9, 2016. I still think they took it down. I don’t believe it was hacked.
Both are likely true. The hack rendered the site largely unusable and pro-Trump, at which point they probably decided to take it down. There was definitely a hack of some sort.
