Trump's Twitter account hacked after Dutch researcher guessed password?

wait, really? there is no two factor auth on his account? Actually, someone observed that while he was debating last time with Biden his account was tweeting. So it is sort of make sense - the password is likely shared which makes two factor auth hard.

The password was maga2020 infinite_facepalm.gif

With such a simple password, how many people have been in there monitoring direct messages and the president's activities on the platform? This is unbelievable.

Sorry, I just can't believe that the first person to guess Trump's (surely the most valuable target in the world for hackers) password as 'maga2020' would be a white hat. This looks like a hoax to me.
