"This is not the first time that Dutch hackers succeeded in taking over Donald Trumps Twitter account. The first time was four years ago, just before the 2016 elections, when three hackers jointly managed to retrieve Trumps password and access his account. That someone has now succeeded again, is remarkable. During the previous presidential elections Russian hackers attempted to influence the elections on a large scale. Subsequently, social media have taken various steps to prevent manipulation."
