So that RNC convention site wasn’t hacked. It was fake.
If you search on Google for things like “Dallas Republican Convention,” “Dallas RNC convention,” “Dallas Republican Midterm Convention,” or even just “Republican Midterm Convention,” the website that Tim wrote about below (and that I, at one point, linked to in my story about how to get around Dallas during the convention) will appear at the very top of the search. First spot, first page, as of Friday at 6 p.m.
However, it appears it was not the official page for the convention. That page is here. It does not really pop up when you search, but a press release about the convention does. We do regret the error, but in our defense, it’s likely the page that a lot of people have been using because, again, it’s at the top of every Google search. And we weren’t the only ones fooled: The Dallas Observer also believed it was the correct page. “The website was a lookalike, and we failed to recognize it as such,” the publication says on Facebook. “Days prior, we even attempted to apply for media credentials for the conference through their portal before it was staged to redirect to the DOJ Epstein Library.” At least a few other journalists were fooled too, including Katie Phang. The New York Times says more than 140 news sites linked to it. The website was that convincing.
We originally attempted to apply for credentials through a media portal at the official page, which generically just says gopconvention.com. Once we never received a response regarding our credentials, we applied at the apparently fake site, just like the Observer.
So to reiterate, the correct site is here. The other one still points to the Epstein Files, which was perhaps the long game the owner of the website was going for all along.
