Hmmm, yeah. From the linked article,
Mr Gevers had told officers he had substantially
more evidence of the "hack".
An earlier article gives a little more detail, but nothing substantial. From https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55019858 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55019858 --
He did not post any tweets or change any settings, but
said he took screenshots of some parts of the
president's account.
If he has screenshots of private messages, etc, that would certainly prove he had access... but only if Trump or somebody with legit access to Trump's account was able and willing to verify them.
Of course, I don't blame this researcher for lacking more concrete proof. He could easily have proved his access by changing something in Trump's account, sending a tweet/DM, etc. But by doing so he likely would have brought some serious legal issues down onto himself.
