@ 2016/11/03Security experts claim to have found that a server belonging to Donald Trump was secretly passing messages to a Russian bank with close ties to Putin.
In a rather long winded article the Slate spoke to a security expert who stumbled across a bank in Moscow that kept irregularly pinging a server registered to the Trump Organisation on Fifth Avenue.
The expert kept logs of the Trump server’s DNS activity and circulatated to his mates in the cybersecurity world to see if they yielded any clues.
Initially they thought it was a malware attack on Trump, but the pattern seemed to fitted human conversation better. The chats seem to begin during office hours in New York and continued during office hours in Moscow.
The researchers worked out that this wasn’t an attack, but a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to an entity called Alfa Bank.
