A Dutch hacker, Victor Gevers easily hacked into President Trumps twitter account. It only took him five attempts to guess his password which was very easy to accomplish, maga2020!. Gevers says that it lacks the most basic two factor authentication. Victor Gevers actually works for the Dutch government in his spare time. The U.S law enforcement is warning Russia and Iran are engaging in election interference through hacked hacking voting registration.

Goes to show that anyone, no matter their place of power, is not immune to making easy passwords.

We Americans got ourselves into this, and we Americans will get ourselves out. Our democracy is a marvelous experiment, and thank God we’re not looking for a patent or trademark.

I think this goes to show how uneducated people can be with simple cybersecurity practices. You’d think our president would be aware of attacks like these but he wasn’t. Hopefully he learns from this and implements policies such as 2FA on his future accounts!
