A 17-year-old boy gets three years in prison for hacking Apple's Twitter

Twitter hacked

Of course you have to be unconscious or have them like a fat bull to hack the Twitter account of the almighty Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and think that you can get away from rositas.

That one thing is to hack the neighbor's Wi-Fi, or your girlfriend's Instagram, and another (just as ugly but with worse consequences) is to take control of the official Twitter account of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, Bill Gates, and Joe Biden to try the scam of the stamp with Bitcoins. Well, said hacker has had three years in prison and another three years of parole, that's it.

As published by the Tampa Bay Times, Graham Ivan Clark At just 17 years old, he has agreed to plead guilty in exchange for accepting a sentence of three years in prison and three more on probation for fraud.

And it is that the little angel did not think of anything else than to contact a Twitter employee, and posing as a worker from Apple's social media department, to get access to the official Apple account at Twitter.

He wanted to scam the stamp with Bitcoins

And once he took control of the account, he had the "great idea" to post a tweet explaining a supposed Apple promotion: "All Bitcoin sent to our account, it will be sent back to you in duplicate. Offer only available for the next 30 minutes ». He did the same with the official Twitter account of Bill Gates and Joe Biden.

Obviously, the link reported you to the kid's Bitcoins account. This is how he achieved in a few minutes U.S. dollar 100.000 in Bitcoins. But the digital trail was so evident that within days he was arrested at his Hillsborough County home.

Clark had 17 years in July 2020 when he committed the crime. But he has been charged in a state court because the law of that state can try a minor as an adult in a financial fraud case.

    The one who should be thrown in jail is the Twitter employee who gave access to the Apple account to a kid who calls and pretends to be a worker on it… anyway.

    And in a call they gave him the one of Apple, Joe Biden and Bill gates? I don't know Rick ...

      I would not be surprised if he was in league with the Twitter employee, and they only charged the kid with the death. And I suppose that with the other accounts I would make other different calls…. it is still very strange ...
      And the news explains that he has voluntarily pleaded guilty. Twitter may have wanted to settle the issue as quickly as possible, since the shit was his, and they have offered him money to do it and quickly cover the issue ... I already believe everything ....
