Hacker Takes Over Trump Junior’s Twitter Account

First, a reminder about Twitter’s excellent security:

A British man has pleaded guilty over his role in schemes to hack the Twitter accounts of celebrities including Joe Biden and Elon Musk, as well as stealing $794,000 in cryptocurrency.

Joseph James O’Connor, 23, entered his guilty plea in a New York court after being extradited from Spain on 26 April.

He was arrested nearly two years ago in Spain for the July 2020 hack of over 130 Twitter accounts, including those of Apple, Uber, Kanye West, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Elon Musk, who now owns the social media site.

Experts worldwide have long warned that wars could be started by hacking the accounts of prominent political figures. The tweets embedded below will surely vanish once Junior regains control of his account. The last tweet below is presently pinned to the top of the account.
