The Florida teenager who hacked several celebrity Twitter accounts last summer, including those of former President Barack Obama and Elon Musk, has been sentenced to three years in prison. Eighteen-year-old Graham Ivan Clark pleaded guilty to 30 counts of communications fraud and other crimes on Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Times reported, after prosecutors said he racked up $117,000 in Bitcoin donations from Twitter followers whom he duped.
On July 15, Clark hacked a number of celebrity Twitter accounts as part of a cryptocurrency scam. In addition to Obama and Musk, other high-profile users hit by Clark include then-presidential nominee Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Jeff Bezos.
