An ethical hacker told Dutch media on Thursday he had broken into US President Donald Trump's Twitter account by guessing Trump's password to be "maga2020!".
Motherboard reporter Joseph Cox also cast doubt on the hacker's account of the breach, pointing out discrepancies in a screenshot Gevers shared after he allegedly accessed the account.Twitter and the White House have pushed back against a report that a Dutch ethical hacker managed to crack into President Donald Trump's Twitter account by guessing his password.
The White House denied Gevers' claim that he'd broken into the president's account. "This is absolutely not true but we don't comment on security procedures around the President's social media accounts," White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere toldTwitter did not outright deny Gevers' claim, but said it had seen "no evidence" to back it up.
Twitter did not say exactly how it protects high-profile accounts, but UC Berkeley computer scientist Nicholas Weaver told Cox that if Gevers' story were true, it should be easy for Twitter to find evidence of a breach.
So both lie?
How dumb,trump seems to be so drunk with power that he choose such an easy password to guess? Doesn't he fear Irans and Russia? This should have been made legal for an impeachment!
💔
Trump just said his password in the open like that, come on!
Like we are ever going to believe anything that comes out of the whitehouse
🤣
