BUSTED: Hacker reveals Donald Trumps Twitter account is linked to a private Gmail address
Source: Raw Story
The most powerful Twitter account in the world appears to be linked to a private Gmail account that may or may not be protected with two-step authentication.
A hacker known on Twitter as @WauchulaGhost told CNN that the presidents account is linked to a personal email account most likely one belonging to Dan Scavino, his social media chief.
That means a hacker could potentially gain access to that Gmail account, which may have only a single layer of password protection, to ask Twitter to reset Trumps password and then begin posting messages that could potentially move stock markets or start a nuclear war.
Twitter allows users or hackers to reset their password code through a hyperlink sent to the email account associated with the social media account.
