Trump’s Press Secretary might have accidentally tweeted his password, but we cannot say for sure

With Trump being sworn in as the President, the changes being made are already being tweeted out. Trump’s Press Secretary Sean Spicer is being extremely diligent when sending out random Cryptic Messages through his Twitter. The White House is currently undergoing its cyber security procedures and this might actually be his password (woahhh!!).

The hubbub surrounding the messages started when Spicer tweeted out a string of nonsensical characters. Starting off with the one reading “Aqenbpuu,” the press secretary then tweeted another set of jumbled characters “n9y25ah7.” These were, however, deleted in seconds after they went live on Twitter, possibly by himself or another staff member.

These were enough to pique the interest of the Twittersphere, who took it upon themselves to reach conclusions. Though the tweets might have appeared to be Passwords at first but the possibility of butt/pocket tweet emerged at once. Individuals were quick to strip Spicer of his dignity for lacking security protocols, leading to the said tweets. The conversation then shifted to something more serious — maybe they are military or nuclear codes. And there were also trolls who believed these were hidden instructions or an SOS signal in disguise.

But, to be honest, no one is exactly sure about the truth behind these numbers. Neither are they Spicer’s Twitter passwords nor are they the codes for access to secret Illuminati meetings. And even if they were passwords in reality then the security staff would’ve changed the same to something more secure in an instant. Further, Anonymous also tweeted out screenshots of the cryptic messages but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they hacked it.

Further, Anonymous also tweeted out screenshots of the cryptic messages but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they hacked it. They were, however, fast to reach the conclusion that the White House was handing out eight-character passwords. But, they later posted an update to their own claims saying that these were Twitter 2FA codes. This claim is also highly unlikely as Twitter 2FA codes are number-only. So, the Anonymous is also in the dark about the meaning of the cryptic messages (most likely a pocket tweet!)

Also, this is an important warning. We’d strongly recommend you not to hastily go ahead and try out the said string of characters to access Sean Spicer’s Twitter account. Even if it was really a password — which it most probably isn’t, it would’ve been changed at that very instant. But if you look at the bigger picture, trying to access his account is illegal under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). And doing so could ultimately land you in jail.
