Wireless networks at Trump properties — including his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he regularly spends weekends — sport weak internet security that could leave them vulnerable to hackers, according to a new report by ProPublica and Gizmodo. The two news outlets found the vulnerabilities when they attempted to access Wi-Fi networks at Mar-a-Lago, Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey, Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., and Trump National Golf Club in Virginia.
The report argued that the poor security could allow hackers to access the networks to take control of connected equipment to use as recording devices or hack printers to copy and send any document that came through the machine to an outside source. That could pose national security concerns, since Trump regularly conducts presidential business while at his properties. Trump has met with both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at his properties.
