Why don’t people learn?
If it’s in the US then leave it alone.
> Joseph O’Connor, from Liverpool, hijacked more than 130 accounts in July 2020, including those of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Elon Musk.
> The 26-year-old fled to Spain where his mother lives before being arrested and extradited to the US for trial.
> He was sentenced to five years for cyber crimes but now must hand over a haul of crypto he gathered through various hacks and scams.
And these weren’t hacked through the users, this was done through staff:
> The hackers gained access to the accounts by first **convincing a small number of Twitter employees to hand over their internal login details** – which eventually granted them access to the social media site’s administrative tools.
> They used social engineering tricks to get access to the powerful internal control panel at the site.
Proper scumbag. I don’t have too much of an opinion about breaking into twitter accounts but to use that to steal from regular people? That makes you a wrongun. Hope he rots.
I’m confused. If Kanye West or Bill Gates contact me personally with a tip to double my money with crypto, am I supposed to do it or not?
I read the title as heckler and though that seems a bit steep!
