　　1. Dutch hacker Victor Gevers claims to have logged in to President Trump’s Twitter account six years ago by guessing the password: “yourefired.” Then he did it again. On Oct. 16, Gevers, 44, made an accurate guess, “maga2020!,” on his fifth try, according to Dutch prosecutors.

　　荷兰检方称，现年44岁的荷兰黑客维克多·吉弗斯称，六年前，他猜对了特朗普的推特密码，是“yourefired”。今年10月16日，他试了5次，终于再一次猜对了特朗普的推特密码为“maga2020!”，即“让美国再次伟大！”

　　2. Hacking is a crime in the Netherlands. But on Wednesday, Dutch officials said they would not press charges because Gevers had met the bar for “responsible disclosure,” demonstrating how easy it could be to gain access to the U.S. president’s handle: @realdonaldtrump.

　　黑客在荷兰是一种犯罪行为。但周三，荷兰官员表示，他们不会提起指控，因为吉弗斯达到了“负责任披露”的标准，这表明，获取美国总统的账号@realdonaldtrump是竟是如此轻而易举的事。

　　3. “We believe the hacker has actually penetrated Trump’s Twitter account, but has met the criteria that have been developed in case law to go free as an ethical hacker,” the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement, the Guardian reported.

　　据《卫报》报道，检察官办公室在一份声明中表示:“我们认为吉弗斯确实侵入了特朗普的推特帐户，但是他的行为符合判例法规定的道德黑客免于指控的标准。”

　　4. Gevers was open about what he had done and said his aim was to show “vulnerabilities in the Internet,” the BBC reported. On Oct. 22, Gevers shared screenshots, apparently from inside Trump’s account. He also tweeted some advice, seemingly directed at the U.S. president, encouraging the use of two-factor authentication, which makes it harder to hack a password.

　　据英国广播公司报道，吉弗斯公开承认自己的所作所为，并表示他只是想揭露“互联网的漏洞。” 10月22日，吉弗斯分享了一些特朗普账号的截屏，他还在推特上发表了一些建议，要人们使用双因素身份验证，以确保密码不被轻易破解，他的这些建议似乎是针对特朗普的。

　　5. Both the White House and Twitter have denied Gevers gained access to the account. “This is absolutely not true but we don’t comment on security procedures around the President’s social media accounts,” deputy White House press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement in October.

　　白宫和推特都否认吉弗斯访问了该账户。白宫副新闻秘书贾德迪尔在10月份的一份声明中表示“这绝对是造谣，但我们不对总统社交媒体账户的安全程序发表任何评论”。

　　6. Twitter said in a statement that it “had seen no evidence to corroborate this claim, including from the article published in the Netherlands today. We proactively implemented account security measures for a designated group of high-profile, election-related Twitter accounts in the United States, including federal branches of government.”

　　推特在一份声明中表示， “没有看到任何证据证实吉弗斯确实黑了特朗普的推特帐户，及时荷兰今天发表的文章也没法证明这一点。我们对美国一些选举相关推特帐户实施了安网保护措施。”

　　7. Gevers, a cybersecurity researcher, told Dutch prosecutors that he was checking for vulnerabilities in the accounts of U.S. candidates ahead of the November elections when he breached Trump’s account.

　　吉弗斯是一名网络安全研究员，他告诉荷兰检察官，他在11月大选前检查美国候选人账户的漏洞时，侵入了特朗普的账户。

　　8. “He later stated to police that he had investigated the strength of the password because there were major interests involved if this Twitter account could be taken over so shortly before the presidential election,” the prosecutors said, according to the BBC.

　　据英国广播公司报道，检察官说:“他后来对警方说，他已经检查了密码的保密强度，因为如果在大选前能够轻易接管这个账户将会产生重大影响。”
