Florida teen, two others charged in Twitter 'Bit-Con' hacking attack

Authorities in Florida say a 17 year old was the "mastermind" of the attack that targeted the accounts of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kanye West, Bill Gates and others.

Three people have been charged with carrying out the hacking attack on Twitter in mid-July in which the accounts of prominent people were taken over.

State authorities in Florida say 17-year-old Graham Ivan Clark "was the mastermind" of the attack. He now faces 30 state felony charges, and federal charges may also be filed.

Federal authorities also announced that Mason Sheppard, of Bognor Regis in the United Kingdom, was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and the intentional access of a protected computer.
