Donald Trump’s Twitter Was Hacked By The Same Dutch Hacker Twice; Both Passwords Revealed

United States President Donald Trump’s Twitter account was hacked in October, Dutch prosecutors said, adding that the “ethical hacker” would not face charges. According to foreign media reports, the Dutch government will not punish the hacker Victor Gevers who got into Trump’s Twitter account by guessing his password. Both the White House and Twitter had denied reports that the account had been hacked.

Gevers himself disclosed the hack, saying the password he guessed was “maga2020!”, referring to the Trump slogan “Make America Great Again”, reports stated on Wednesday. A cyber unit called Team High-tech Crime began its investigation at the end of November to establish if a criminal offence had been committed.

“However, Gevers has not committed a crime because he sought contact with the White House, Twitter and the FBI and made suggestions for improvements,” the public prosecutor is quoted as saying in Dutch media reports.

Digital censorship: Google, Facebook and Twitter threaten to leave Pakistan

Big tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter have once again threatened to leave Pakistan. The Asia Internet Coalition has warned the Government of Pakistan that Pakistan’s current digital censorship is a direct attack on freedom of expression. Explain that this organization represents tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter in Asia. The Asia Internet Coalition and critics believe that the authority of the Government of Pakistan to censor digital content has been given by the Government of Pakistan with the aim of curbing freedom of expression in the Islamic nation. Let us know that in February this year, these social media companies had said that if the government does not amend their rules, they will leave Pakistan.

Actually, in the digital censorship law that has been made in Pakistan, no scale has been set regarding objectionable content. In such a situation, any person can consider any content objectionable and appeal to social media companies to remove it. These companies will have to remove the content within 24 hours of the appeal, while in the emergency this limit will be 6 hours. Under this censorship, there is also a provision to share information related to subscribers, traffic, content and accounts with intelligence agencies. Apart from this, social media companies are required to give decrypted data of users to investigative agencies selected by the Pakistani government. In such a situation, Pakistan wants to interfere completely in the private life of the people.

According to the new law, these companies will have to open their permanent office in Pakistan. Apart from this, a locus server will also have to be created. Also, you have to keep an eye on the account of Pakistanis living outside Pakistan. There is a provision of a fine of Rs 50 crore for breaking the law. Companies have written in their letter that the Digital Censorship Act of Pakistan is a violation of the privacy and freedom of expression of 70 million internet users. If this law does not change then you will have to leave Pakistan
