IIRC, some years back a white hat hacker guessed his twitter password - which was "yourefired", and contacted the Trump team to inform them of this weakness.<p>They then briefed Trump on picking a password with letters, numbers, and special characters, etc. - like "maga2020!", which is what he went with.<p>For whatever reason, he did not use 2FA. So I'm not at all shocked they got "hacked" if that type of carelessness is the standard.
> In 2016, days before the Democratic National Convention, WikiLeaks published nearly 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Committee server. Those emails included comments from DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz that suggested the committee was favoring Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primary. Wasserman Schultz resigned in the aftermath of the leak. Officials later said they thought the cyberattack was linked to Russia.<p>> After the hack, Trump publicly encouraged Russia to hack Clinton’s private server and release her emails. He later said he was joking.<p>I had forgotten that. That seems oddly symmetric to that.<p>The Trump campaign says that Iran wants Harris because it knows that he, Trump, "will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House". Nice way to turn it into a talking point, I guess. Does anyone recall how accurate it is? Did Trump really crimp Iran's style during his presidency?
