Recently, Dutch media reported the alleged hacking of Donald Trump’s Twitter account after a Dutch researcher correctly guessed the president’s password: “maga2020!” Security researcher and ethical hacker Victor Gevers could access to Trump’s direct messages, post tweets in his name and change his profile, De Volkskrant newspaper reported. Four years ago, Gevers, along two other Dutch ethical hackers, allegedly hacked Trump's account. 

Now, BBC News reports Dutch prosecutors confirmed the hack and claim Gevers provided proof of the hack. They have sent U.S. authorities the results of their investigation. Gevers will not face any charges as he was "acting ethically" while conducting a "semi-regular sweep" of the Twitter accounts of high-profile U.S. election candidates when he guessed Trump's password. "This is not just about my work but all volunteers who look for vulnerabilities in the internet," he said.
