Man really did hack Trump’s Twitter account by guessing password

Six years ago, Dutch hacker Victor Gevers logged into President Donald Trump’s Twitter account by guessing the password: “you-re fired.” 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 that 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.
