DNS records for the Giuliani Security
website have been deleted, and the IP address isn't working either.

First President-elect Donald Trump
bewildered the tech world by hiring former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani to
lead the Trump administration's cybersecurity agenda, and now Giuliani's
website has mysteriously gone offline.
At his first press conference on
Wednesday 11 January, Trump announced that he intended to gather "some of
the greatest computer minds anywhere in the world" to tackle the recent
spate of cybersecurity problems facing the US government, but then instead of
hiring a well-known firm or talking to Silicon Valley's elite, he hired
Giuliani, who heads Giuliani Partners, a consulting firm supposedly focusing on
cybersecurity.
Tech and mainstream media alike mocked
the Giuliani Security and Safety website (view a cached copy here on Wayback Machine)
because it featured a simplistic, out-of-date page layout akin to something out
of the early 2000s, as well as a whole host of critical security flaws,
including expired SSL encryption, an exposed CMS login page and the use of
Adobe Flash, which browsers have all but ditched.
