> Hunter Biden used an easy to guess password (Hunter02) Truth* is stranger than fiction. Or at least funnier. http://bash.org/?244321 http://bash.org/?244321

  The full context: > A hard disk owned by presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son was supposedly stolen or hacked – also because Hunter Biden used an easy to guess password (Hunter02). Gevers is familiar with leaked databases of old passwords and searched these for Hunter Biden’s data. After analysing these old databases, he felt that the information was incorrect. Hunter Biden used other passwords. Gevers: ‘I could tell that it wasn’t his password.’ So this is not truth. But what I don’t know is if Gevers just read that online from a jokester, or if Trump’s people are actually claiming this.

  "oh, ok" the internet was such a better place in the 90s. now if someone gets your password in 2020 they can basically destroy your credit and social reputation

  I think the story is implying that it wasn't his actual password: >Gevers is familiar with leaked databases of old passwords and searched these for Hunter Biden’s data. After analysing these old databases, he felt that the information was incorrect. Hunter Biden used other passwords. Gevers: ‘I could tell that it wasn’t his password.’ It's much more insane to me that the President of the United States has a twitter account with no 2FA and the password 'maga2020'.
