Three hackers who attempted to break into Donald Trump's Twitter account just before the presidential elections in October 2016 were surprised to see that his leaked password 'yourfired' worked to enter his Twitter account. The Dutch hackers found Trump's password because of a 2012 LinkedIn data breach involving a database of 117 million usernames and passwords. The password 'yourfired', catchphrase for Trump's TV reality show was used for hacking.
