Newton sent out his first post-hack tweet on Wednesday afternoon and admitted that he could have been a little more savvy with his choice of a password.

Lol that was ridiculous. I guess "Camnewton1" was a bad "password" choice?! Thanks again @twitter #backfromthehack

Newton probably went with something a little less hackable for his new password. Maybe something like "PassWord123" or "PanthersQB."
