The owners of the ransomware Darkside donated $ 10,000 each to Children International, a non-profit organization that helps children living in poverty, and The Water Project, an organization that fights for access to clean water in Africa.

Victor Geverse managed to find a password to Donald Trump's Twitter account, the latter lacking two-factor authentication. On October 16th he tried to find a password to Twitter account of American president and from the sixth attempt he managed to do it. The password turned out to be the phrase "maga2020!".

It was the second time when Geverce picked up a password from Donald Trump's Twitter account. The expert and his friends guessed the password for the first time in 2016. At that time, the researchers relied on the data left by Linkedin in 2012, and were surprised to find that the password from Twitter is the same as from Linkedin.
