Suspect in 2020 High-profile Twitter Hack Arrested in Spain 

A person allegedly involved in a high-profile Twitter hack in July 2020 has been arrested.

The U.S. Justice Department said British citizen Joseph O’Connor, 22, was arrested Wednesday in Spain. He faces conspiracy and computer intrusion charges. O’Connor allegedly participated in the hijacking of more than 130 verified accounts, including those of SpaceX's Elon Musk, former U.S. President Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden, to ask for Bitcoin. Twitter’s immediate response was to prevent many verified accounts from tweeting for several hours.
