Fox News
A Florida teenager who masterminded the Twitter hack of prominent accounts like Bill Gates and Barack Obama last summer was sentenced to three years in prison and three years of probation this week.
Prosecutors say Clark and his co-conspirators hacked into numerous Twitter accounts, including politicians like Barack Obama and Mike Bloomberg; business leaders like Elon Musk and Bill Gates; and celebrities like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Twitter explained that the hackers "targeted a small number of employees through a phone spear phishing attack," which allowed them to "obtain access to both our internal network as well as specific employee credentials that granted them access to our internal support tools."More Related News
