Cover for President Trump’s Twitter accessed by security expert who guessed password "maga2020!"

This is fairly mind blowing.

The account was not protected by two-factor authentication, granting Gevers access to the president’s account.

It's also pretty remarkable that the account hadn't already been discovered (that we know of).

Wouldn't this be an account subject to constant attack like this? Lots to unpack here.
