A man has claimed that he logged into Donald Trump's Twitter account by simply guessing his password. And this might not be the first time he's achieved this goal...
It's been a whirlwind for American citizens.
And as things are getting pretty wild right now...
It's only set to get wilder after the president's Twitter password was recently revealed to the masses by a man in the Netherlands.And you'll never guess what it was.
You would think the President of the United States could do a bit better than that, but that might be expecting a little too much. However, this might be the worst time for an incident like this to happen...Now, we are almost days away from the highly anticipated presidential election.
Donald Trump is hoping to gain victory and be reelected as President of the United States...
Of course, the election couldn't have fallen on a worse year...
Trump's presidential campaign seems to be hitting rocks...
Things took an ultimate turn for the worst when at the start of October, the President and the First Lady, Melania, tested positive for COVID-19. Trump insisted that they immediately went into self-isolation together and that they felt fine, but after just a few days, he was hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Centre.Despite the huge worry surrounding Trump's health...
Well, the first and only vice presidential debate of 2020 went ahead on October 7th between Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris opened eyes with her firm techniques in handling interruptions by Pence...
Similar topics were covered...
According to the polls, Harris was the one who came out on top...

Following the VP debate, Trump continued to insist on how he was "feeling better than ever."
FYI, this wasn't just Biden's idea.
The virtual debate that was scheduled to go ahead tonight on the 15th of October was officially canceled due to Trump's refusal.
So instead, Joe Biden participated in a Philadelphia town hall forum moderated by ABC's George Stephanopoulos...
Trump's event was hosted by NBC's Savannah Guthrie...
And if that wasn't bonkers enough for you, Trump has also been holding rallies up and down the country.
Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and many other states have seen the president strut through followed by hundreds of maskless supporters following behind.At one point, there was even some crowd surfing involved.
Yeah, you read that right. During one of Trump's rallies in Macon, Georgia, State Rep. Vernon Jones decided he would throw his body out into a crowd of supporters, who after a few minutes, put the man down back to his feet again.And all this is occurring during a global pandemic?
Of course, it is.But if you thought things couldn't get any wilder, they certainly can.
Recently, a man from the Netherlands claimed that he was able to log into Donald Trump's personal Twitter account by simply entering in a password.And according to reports, it only took him 5 attempts overall to do so.
Victor Gevers, a security expert, said he was able to access the US President's direct messages, change his profile and post tweets in his name without getting locked out by Twitter for his previous failed attempts. Now that's a lot of power for one person.But instead of actually doing anything to prove he got in, he decided to just send a quick email.
The kindly-worded email advised the president on how to strengthen his password so incidents like this can't happen again.But all anyone was really curious about what the password must have been for him to be able to get in so easily...
Well, the password was actually "maga2020!," according to Gevers.
He sent screenshots to Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant which gave some sort of "proof" that he actually managed to master the art of hacking into the president's Twitter account.However, according to the social media platform, he did not.
