Anyone pulling up details about President Donald Trump Thursday may have been in for a surprise after hackers managed to change his Wikipedia image to a picture of a male pubic area.
Those pulling a prank on POTUS successfully kept the photograph associated with the 72-year-old on the website to feature a penis instead of Trump's official headshot throughout Thanksgiving Day.
The Verge reported that anyone asking Apple's Siri for details on the American leader could have been faced with genitals rather than Trump's usual grin.
President Donald Trump's Wikipedia account was hacked Thursday

Initially unclear whether it was being controlled by a glitch in the way Siri operates, it has since been discovered that trolls got in by editing the online encyclopaedia repeatedly as the website's editors desperately tried to revert each time.
In the page's history is clear how various edits are reverted back and forth over the course of Thursday evening.
Then in the early hours of Friday morning Coordinated Universal Time, the protection levels for Trump's profile were requested to be higher, quoting 'compromised accounts'.
Noting that they 'require administrator access' the editors also stated that there were 'multiple editors complaining that the tooltip is wrong' in reference to the message that appears when a cursor is hovered over an image.
Once extended confirmed access was put into play for the page, the issue was able to be fixed.
The rogue editors were finally blocked from their privileges to publish on the website.

An editor told The Verge: 'They have now been blocked indefinitely.'
Recently Republicans were subject to trolling via Wikipedia when politicians Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch had their home addresses and phone numbers published.
It took place around the time Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's hearing.
But it's not just Republicans who have fallen victim to Wikipedia hackers.
Democrat Hillary Clinton's page was changed to include pornographic images in 2016.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
