Tech-savvy trolls send Biden, Trump web traffic from unwanted domains

 Some tech-savvy trolls are working their mischief on the dueling presidential campaigns, sending them web traffic from unlikely -- and unwanted -- sources.

As social media users have noted recently, type Antifa.com in your browser, and it re-directs to JoeBiden.com.

And if one tries Mini-Strokes.com, it goes to DonaldJTrump.com.

 In both cases, the origin of the re-direction -- and who is responsible for it -- remains unknown, though it appears to be the work of trolls having fun at the expense of the nominees.

In the case of Antifa.com, it comes as Republicans are using it to hit Democratic nominee Joe Biden over his response to violent protests.

As for Mini-Strokes.com, that site popped up after President Trump on Tuesday denied on Twitter that he had "a series of mini-strokes" after the unfounded #TrumpStroke hashtag trended on Twitter.
