The hack was done by security expert Victor Gevers. Gevers is also a member of the 'Grumpy Old Hackers' hacker group who logged in in 2016 by identifying that the password for President Trump's Twitter account was 'yourefired.'

Gevers has the belief that 'anyone who is attracting the attention of the media can be hacked,' and while the U.S. presidential election is booming, Vice President Pence, Democratic presidential candidate Biden, and vice presidential candidate I was also targeting Harris' SNS account, but I couldn't log in.

He also checked President Trump's Twitter account and confirmed that he could not log in with 'youre fired,' which he successfully logged in four years ago. At that time, he noticed that President Trump did not perform two-factor authentication .

Here, Gevers tried passwords such as '! I Will America Great Again!' 'Make America Great Again' 'Make America Great Again!' 'Maga 2020' 'Maga 2020!' 'Maga 2020!' And finally succeeded in logging in to President Trump's Twitter account for the first time in four years. did.

Gevers has taken a screenshot of President Trump's Twitter account profile edit screen as evidence of a successful login.

Gevers consulted with his fellow 'Grumpy Old Hackers' about successful logins and decided to focus on President Trump. However, because there was no response, Twitter tweeted a link to a news article reporting that it was blocking the spread of articles on the alleged Biden candidate . Gevers said that he not only logged in but also tweeted, 'It seems that it was not enough to report, so this time we went one step further. All problems were resolved and President Trump sent a message. I hope you will come. It's enough if you say 'Thank you for your report.' '

The following tweets are from Gevers. The linked The Babylon Bee is a satire news site.
