In reply to the discussion: Trump's Twitter Account Was Hacked [View all]Sapient Donkey
(1,568 posts)19. That seems way too easy to be true
Not that I don't think Trump would use something that basic, but that I'd think if that were the case then it would have been compromised much earlier.
I would be nervous even trying to gain access to high profile accounts. I'm pretty sure I would instantly regret trying it if I decided to test some passwords on a head of state's twitter account and have it actually log me in.

IF TRUE, he should have changed the password so Trump would be locked out!
