BREAKING: Florida 17-year-old charged with carrying out the hacking attack on Twitter in mid-July in which the accounts of former President Obama, Joe Biden, Kanye West, Bill Gates and others were taken over, authorities say.
Nima Fazeli of Orlando was charged by federal authorities with aiding and abetting the intentional access of a protected computer.
Clark was arrested Friday morning following an intensive investigation by the FBI, IRS, Secret Service and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement."This defendant lives here in Tampa, he committed the crime here, and he'll be prosecuted here," Warren said. Florida law allows minors to be charged as adults in financial fraud cases.
Messages coming from their accounts promised the recipients that their money would be doubled if they sent an amount in Bitcoin to a specific place. Several hundred people appeared to have responded, sending in tens of thousands of dollars.
