Anyone Know What This @PressSec Tweet Means?

Was one of Sean Spicer's kids messing around with his cellphone? Or did Vicente Fox's latest tweet rattle the new White House press secretary? Speculation is running rampant, per the Daily Dot, after Spicer sent out a cryptic early-morning tweet Thursday that has since been deleted, but … screenshots. The tweet read "n9y25ah7," which Gizmodo notes "looks an awful lot like a password" with its eight-character length. Some note that Spicer may simply be prone to butt-dialing, as a similarly nonsensical tweet stating "Aqenbpuu" was posted early Wednesday. Other half-joking theories, per Mashable: He was either tweeting out the nuclear codes or sending out a cry for help. (Maybe it's a secretly hostile message for Dippin' Dots?)
