EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Hackers are capitalizing on the buzz around Michael Wolff’s book about Donald Trump’s presidency, “Fire and Fury.” In the past couple weeks, some of the more scandal-leaning stories from the book have surfaced, sparking great interest. And hackers have been quick to exploit that.
