who would have guessed?

He made full disclosure of the vulnerabilities he discovered, and cooperated in having the unwanted CVEs, zero-days, patches, and fixes served on Twitter, Inc.

‘Gevers, 44, disclosed the hack immediately, saying the password he guessed was “maga2020!”, referring to the Trump slogan “Make America Great Again”.’ ibid

lol

Trump is as predictable as he is stupid.

I read that it only took him 5 tries to guess Trump's "maga2020" password. Not much of a hack job, and luckily it this guy wasn't out to do any damage. Reminds me of hacking into my high school's class standing file on the computer back in 1972, and I see it as more a matter of carelessness of the user. I say no harm then no foul.
