Teen fools around the world

As 45 of some of the world's most popular Twitter accounts the other day was hacked, it was neither the russians or the north Korean hackers who were behind.

According to the us authorities to be 'the brain' behind the attack instead, during the warm climes of Florida.

Here you have just arrested the 17-year-old Graham Ivan Clark - aka Kirk#5270 - which will now be prosecuted as an adult.

How it looked on Apple's hacked accounts, as the 17-year-old from Florida, according to the police took over and abused to commit financial crime.

Along with two other suspects, also young men, succeeded the supposedly Graham to penetrate into the heart of twitter's computer systems with a mundane trick.

He and medgerningsmændene called, quite simply, to key employees at Twitter, and released to be a part of the company's helpdesk.

On the way, lured the three important codes out of one or more employees, then they could go ahead and send fake messages from accounts associated, among other presidential candidate Joe Biden, Apple, and Elon Musk.

however, There was nothing banal about the messages that invited the celebrities millions of followers to send a sum of bitcoins to a bitcoinadresse.

It came with the promise that if they sent, for example, 1000 dollars, they would receive 2000 dollars in return.

It was of course a lie, as the organizers kept the more than 100,000 dollars, it managed to get naive users to send.

Graham Ivan Clark is not unfamiliar with how to handle the anonymous digital currency. As late as april of this year, the Secret Service in the UNITED states more than 700,000 dollars in bitcoins from him.

It is unknown why the many money at that time should be seized.
