Until Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump's official @POTUS Twitter was registered to a private, non-government email address, raising concerns about the security of the White House&039;s primary social media account. The account registration was changed after journalists flagged the registration on Twitter.
The registration was first noticed by TV Guide Managing Editor, Alex Zalben:
Others have confirmed that the password reset link directs to what appears to be White House Social Media Director, Dan Scavino&039;s personal Gmail account.
The White House press office has not yet responded to a request for comment. White House Director of Social Media, Dan Scavino has not yet responded to BuzzFeed News query asking if the account will be transferred to a different, government address in the future.
The registration to a personal account rekindles concerns about the security of the Trump administration&039;s social media accounts, especially Trump&039;s Twitter accounts, arguably the President&039;s most important communications&039; tools. The account, which changed hands from the Obama administration just moments after Trump was sworn into office last Friday, has quickly amassed 14.3 million followers and is obsessively tracked by journalists and even financial trading algorithms. Though Trump has opted to use his personal, @realDonaldTrump account as his primary method of personal communication, the @POTUS account is largely seen as the official Twitter account of the administration.
This week a hacker who identifies himself as as WauchulaGhost told CNN that he had been able to easily find the emails associated with the @POTUS, @FLOTUS, and @VP accounts and suggested the White House update security settings. WauchulaGhost told CNN that the accounts, “haven&039;t selected a basic security feature on Twitter that requires you to provide a phone number or email address to reset your password.”
And just this morning, White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer appeared to accidentally tweet out the password to one of his accounts. Some have suggested that Spicer was trying to log-in to his Twitter account using two-factor authentication, and accidentally copied in his password.
BuzzFeed News reported earlier this month that the @POTUS account has special security protocols. The security tools, according to the White House Communications Agency include multiple password layers as well as limiting the number of encrypted devices that can post to the official account.
“It’s a small handful of devices that are under significant security and handled with extreme care,” a former director of online engagement told BuzzFeed News this month about the account. The new registration under Scavino&039;s email would suggest this protocol has changed when the account was transferred.

The post Evolving The Mirantis Brand appeared first on Mirantis | The Pure Play OpenStack Company.
A while back, I shared some of the colorful history of Mirantis swag. Ever since our early days as OpenStack pioneers, our brand has been important to us. It’s helped us stand out among a noisy OpenStack ecosystem and get noticed among much larger organizations. Our booths at OpenStack Summits are always engaging points of interest: a bar, picture search, driving simulator, and robotic hockey table. And our employee swag is over-the-top: jean jackets; track suits; and in Vancouver, hockey jerseys that the OpenStack community still talks about today.
Our brand is also a source of pride, a reflection of our collective spirit, and a testament to our commitment to our ideals. We believe in Pure Play Open Cloud, and many of our earliest t-shirt designs reflected this value, using analogies to Ikea and Breaking Bad. We have celebrated the open source communities in which we participate, with our Zelda-inspired App Catalog shirt, Japan’s Megarantis (“defender of pure openstack!”) and Austin’s OpenStack release beer labels. We’ve even embraced our global company culture by lovingly poking fun at Russian stereotypes.
As our company has evolved, so has our brand. This year, we renewed our focus on managed services, and embraced Kubernetes to help us deliver those services continuously. As we make this shift, our branding team is responding. And this time, we felt the time was right for our company evolution to extend to our logo.
Our logo evolution
Any time a company decides to change its logo or name, it’s a decision that can’t be taken lightly or entered into hastily. Our old logo and color palette served us well for quite a while, and many people may not know that it has already undergone some revisions over time:
The Mirantis logo is more than a decade old, and its original designer and meaning have become company folklore. Personally, it reminds me of the variable x — i.e., when working with customers, Mirantis “solves for x” and builds a cloud that meets their unique needs. Others think that the black swoosh looks like two “helping hands”. Some believe the arrow represents the upward trajectory of our customers’ business results.
Regardless of interpretation, the logo mark presented several design challenges. The arrow is really skinny. The white cutouts in the black swoosh are noisy, particularly when the logo is a smaller size. The swooshes are different widths, increasing the horizontal bias of the mark. The swooshes don’t align with the edges of the “Mirantis” word mark below. Lastly, the typeface of the word mark includes an “M” that has angled legs, contributing to the uneven or irregular shape of the combined logo and word marks.
When we started work on our new logo, all options were on the table. We considered a complete overhaul, and fully developed a few radically different alternatives. Ultimately, we decided that despite its flaws, our logo has a distinctive, recognizable shape that has considerable cachet in our market. So, we went with an evolutionary approach:
The new logo streamlines our previous logo’s appearance, improves its suitability for printed materials, and imbues it with a more contemporary visual appearance. We also updated the typeface used for “Mirantis” to increase its readability, improve its interplay with the logo mark, and to make it more compatible with the fonts included in our brand’s current visual identity. Our color palette is refreshed with a more intense primary red, a new “icy teal” complementary color, and a deep, warm plum for dark color fills and backgrounds. (You’ll notice that these colors have become staples on our website, as well.)
If you need any of our visual assets or color values, you can find them on our logo page.
We at Mirantis like to have fun with our brand while promoting our values: pure play, openness, and community; and we’re definitely not going to stop having fun while delivering those messages. In the coming months, we’ll extend our branding to our booth at OpenStack Summit Boston in May, and for several other open source events. We hope you’ll come say hi and check out our latest swag.

Twitter’s Moments tab is dead. Long live Moments.
In an effort to improve content discovery on its platform, Twitter is replacing its Moments tab with a new tab called Explore. Moments themselves will live on in the Explore tab, but they will take up decidedly less real estate. The Explore tab will also feature search, a list of trends, live video (at times), and shortcuts to get to Moments categories such as News, Sports, and Entertainment.
“Over the past year, we’ve been exploring different ways to make it simpler for people to find and use trends, Moments, and search,” the company said in a blog post. “During our research process, people told us that the new Explore tab helped them easily find news, what’s trending, and what’s popular right now.”
The tab could be especially useful home for Twitter’s premium live video efforts, which have included numerous sports games, the presidential debates, and the Trump inauguration. The videos have not been easy to find inside the Twitter app, which hasn’t had a dedicated tab to host them.
Twitter, used by 317 million people each month, has struggled to attract new users. The company has cited usability as an area it needs to improve upon. One of the key issues new users have is finding the best content inside Twitter, which is what Moments is supposed to address. Twitter still plans to publish the same volume of Moments, and the team working on the feature will not be reduced.
The new Explore tab rolls out globally on iOS today and Android in the coming weeks. If you find yourself longing for Moments in its absence, you can still access the tab on desktop, at least until it eventually switches over to Explore too.
