Mitt Romney’s Hotmail Account Allegedly Hacked By Guessing His Pet’s Name!
According to Gawker, a tipster alleges that he or she hacked Mitt Romney’s Hotmail account (mittromney@hotmail.com). The tipster was able to breach the Presidential candidate’s account by apparently guessing his favorite pet’s name. Apparently, on Hotmail, a user or hacker need only answer one question to change the password of an account, and in this case, pet names will do.
We at NotTheWorstNews wonder if Mitt's favorite pet is the same dog that enjoyed a car-rooftop family trip with the Romney family years ago.
