Teen 'Mastermind' Behind the Great Twitter Hack Sentenced To Three Years in Prison
Teenage Twitter hacker Graham Ivan Clark has pleaded guilty to last summer's unprecedented bitcoin scam attack that involved the takeover of dozens of high-profile accounts on the social network, according to paperwork filed in Florida court on Tuesday. Clark, who was 17 when accused of leading the scam, will spend three years in prison as part of his plea deal. The Tampa Bay Times reported the news on Tuesday. From a report: Clark has already been credited with 229 days of time served since his arrest last summer. As part of the deal, Clark is also being sentenced as a "youthful offender," which lessened his prison time and also opens up the possibility that he can serve some of his sentence at a boot camp, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Clark will also be banned from using computers without permission and without supervision from law enforcement.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
