Tampa Alleged-Hacker’s Virtual Court Hearing Hacked

You just can't make this up. As a safety measure to protect from COVID-19, a bond hearing for a Tampa-based suspected-hacker was interrupted.

Graham Clark was arrested in connection with a hacking scheme. Twitter accounts of high-profile individuals were hacked, including Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Elon Musk. Clark is alleged to have had used these accounts to get people to send him Bit Coins, which earned him over $100,000. He was arrested in Tampa. The 17-year-old is being tried in Hillsborough County, where he can be tried as an adult for the charges.

Hackers stepped during the hearing in which the defense for alleged hacker Graham Clark was trying to get his bond reduced from $750,000. Posing as members of the media, "zoombombers" disrupted the Clark's attorney by playing loud music, shouting slurs and posting porn images. After proceedings were delayed and later resumed, more loud music was played to interrupt.

The motion to reduce bond was denied.

Clark was apparently also already under investigation for another case. You can read more on that here.
