Donald Trump Twitter revenge: The president's password was too easy

Victor Gevers, security expert, had access to Trump's direct messages, could post in his name and change his profile, the De Volkskrant newspaper reported, says Periscope.

Geversie, who was earlier successfully locked in Trump's 2016 account, gained access simply by hitting the American president's password. He tried “maga20! ” on the fifth try, and that worked.

Maga is the shortcut for the main slogan of his campaign “Maker America Great Again” (q. Make Great America again. ”

Twitter, however, has denied this report.

We have not seen any evidence supporting this claim, including the article published in the Netherlands today. Proactively we implement additional security measures for a specified number of high profile people,” said Twitter spokesman.

However, Gevers told the paper that the ease of locking in Trump's account was because he had not used basic security measures such as two-step verification (two-step Verification).

Just one day after gaining access to Trump's account, Gevers had noticed that double-step verification had been activated. Two days later, the Secret Service contacted him. They thanked him for bringing this security problem to your attention.

The previous Trump password had been “yourefied”, a word Trump had made famous during a television show. /Periscope
