Teen accused in Twitter hack sees hearing hacked with porn


A court hearing held via Zoom for a US teenager accused of masterminding a stunning hack of Twitter was interrupted on Aug 5, 2020 with rap music and porn, a newspaper reported. — AFP

A bail hearing by Zoom for the 17-year-old accused of hacking some of the world’s highest-profile Twitter accounts last month offered some surprises when a lawyer revealed that the teenager was already under investigation last year – and then the session was interrupted by participants showing porn.

Graham Ivan Clark’s lawyers were in the middle of asking a Florida judge to lower their client’s bail – saying the US$725,000 (RM3.03mil) he’s required to post to get out of jail is disproportionate to the US$117,000 (RM489,820) he’s alleged to have reaped from the hack – when the raunchy images were broadcast into Wednesday’s hearing, bringing it to an unceremonious end.
