Dutchman hacked Trump’s Twitter account...twice...

...but, of course, the White House sez it never happened, according to the Washington Post.

Six years ago, Dutch hacker Victor Gevers logged into President Trump’s Twitter account by guessing the password: “yourefired.”

Then he did it again. On Oct. 16, Gevers, 44, made another accurate guess, maga2020!, on his fifth try, according to Dutch prosecutors.

Hacking is a crime in the Netherlands. But on Wednesday, Dutch officials said they would not press charges because Gevers had met the bar for “responsible disclosure,” demonstrating how easy it could be to gain access to the U.S. president’s handle: realdonaldtrump.

Gevers strongly recommended that Trump enable two-factor authentication. However, given the passwords he used, I suspect that might be too complex for him.
