In July 2020, a very skilled hacker managed to access verified accounts of Twitter to carry out a scam related to the famous ‘bitcoin’. Now, this was presented as the scam of the century, because whoever gave you the ‘offer’ was nothing more and nothing less than Bill Gates, Elon Musk, among others.
Graham Ivan Clark, who at that time had 17 years, accessed the verified accounts of these tech entrepreneurs. And obviously it was evidenced hours after the attack, and the evidence was so great, that the teenager recognized his mistake and collaborated with the investigation.
Among those affected we have Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mike Bloomberg, Warren Buffet, Floyd Mayweather y Kim Kardashian. But that’s not all, it also attacked business accounts like Apple The Uber.
After an afternoon of attacks, the boy made $ 100,000 in bitcoins. Of course, he did not work alone, his collaborators were also found and now the entire group was sentenced to 3 years in jail.
