Twitter and the White House denied claims a hacker broke into Trump's account by guessing that his password was 'maga2020!'

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.
