On Tuesday evening, Cam Newton’s Twitter account began sending out bizarre messages. Not long after the Carolina Panthers confirmed that Cam was hacked. A small sampling of what happened.
How did a hacker get access to his account? Did someone use a keystroke program, perhaps they got into Cam’s email, hacked his private info or something?
Well, nope, it was a lot simpler than that. Turns out Cam sucks at creating passwords.
Lol that was ridiculous. I guess "Camnewton1" was a bad "password" choice?! Thanks again @twitter #backfromthehack
