Tampa Teen Hacking of Twitter

Tampa teen’s diabolical hacking of high-profile Twitter accounts.

Graham Clark is now serving a three-year prison sentence for hacking Twitter, dozens of celebrities and stealing tens of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin. Clark took a plea deal in March. While the kid genius celebrated his 18th birthday in jail his digital scams started at an early age. Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren announced his arrest last summer.

Attorney Anthony Rickman says Graham started his criminal career at 12 years old, scamming people on Minecraft, “selling what’s called capes. It’s your badge of honor in the Minecraft world,” Rickman says.
