Trump Twitter ‘hack’: Police accept attacker's claim

 

Dutch prosecutors have found a hacker did successfully log in to Donald Trump's Twitter account by guessing his password - "MAGA2020!"

 

But they will not be punishing Victor Gevers, who was acting "ethically".

 

Mr Gevers shared what he said were screenshots of the inside of Mr Trump's account on 22 October, during the final stages of the US presidential election.

 

But at the time, the White House denied it had been hacked and Twitter said it had no evidence of it.

 

In reference to the latest development, Twitter said: "We've seen no evidence to corroborate this claim, including from the article published in the Netherlands today. We proactively implemented account security measures for a designated group of high-profile, election-related Twitter accounts in the United States, including federal branches of government."

 

The White House has not responded to a request for further comment.
