Description
Three people have been charged for their alleged involvement in a massive Twitter hack that took over prominent accounts to promote a Bitcoin scam last month.
The three people were a 17-year-old in Tampa, Florida, a 19-year-old from the United Kingdom, and a 22-year-old from Orlando, Florida.
The 17-year-old teen is accused of being the "mastermind."
The Twitter accounts of the high-profile figures were hijacked on July 15th, in an apparent attempt to solicit digital currency.
The hacked accounts included U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden, former U.S. President Barack Obama, billionaire Bill Gates and reality star Kim Kardashian.
