From the Daily Mail


Three people have been arrested and charged in a massive Twitter breach earlier this month that affected dozens of high-profile users.

Graham Ivan Clark, 17, was arrested on Friday morning in Tampa, Florida after a federal investigation zeroed in on him, and faces 30 felony charges that will be prosecuted in state court.

The Hillsborough State Attorney's Office called Clark the 'mastermind' of the July 15 breach, which saw famous Twitter accounts hijacked and used to plead for donations of bitcoin to a wallet controlled by the attacker.

Authorities say that the hackers behind the attack netted more than $100,000 in bitcoin through the illegal scheme.

Also on Friday, federal prosecutors announced charges against two alleged co-conspirators: Mason 'Chaewon' Sheppard, 19, of Bognor Regis in the United Kingdom, and Nima 'Rolex' Fazeli, 22, of Orlando, Florida.

Pics of the teen mastermind below.

Like most Americans would argue, Nigerians are picked out and persecuted because:

1. Online scams are common in the country, so trust is a big issue
2. Nigerians rarely report fellow Nigerian neighbors who are into online fraud
3. The authorities (like SARS) hardly prosecute fraudsters. Instead, they ask for their share of the fraud.

You see, this is why Nigeria's case is peculiar

They've not reveled the identity because that teenager is an asset and would be very useful to private sector or the Security Service CIA, FBI, NSA or some three letter intelligence agency. I bet this is the last we'd hear of this matter, because he'd probably be pressured into working for the government against going to jail.

LOL....

1.They have revealled the three teenagers names. And the case is going to court.

2.CIA, FBI, NSA etc can recruit tons of experts from their academic sector and their legitimate sectors without going to the illegitimate side.

Infact law enforcement and secret agencies rarely if ever hire people like these guys. As for the private sector...they can employ and pay talent far higher than what illegitimate activities can.

Also the fact is that if the FBI was able to track them down....that means that the experts working for the FBI better pass these three youngsters.(They couldn't even cover their tracks online or otherwise).

3.The rumor is that they had someone helping them on the inside, so not very expert really.

black hat boys Nigeria don't have complex programmers unlike the western world most African/ Nigerian hackers are script kiddies. I just hope we get there someday.
Most Nigerian hackers don't even come close to script kiddies in advanced countries. All what most of them do in foreign countries is to organize money mules for the real black hats. Unfortunately, the black hats don't show off, its their Nigerian counterparts that always want to show they have arrived. Guess what - they get caught first before the real brains.

Again pesin wey im eat only him mama food...

You need to read more widely on the web. There is a lot of news on fraud and other crimes commited by europeans, and other people from other countries. Indeed one article I read on online fraud talked more about Russia and company.

And speaking of Russia....one hacker in Russia took over a company website and electronic database and was asking for millions of dollars before he handed it over. Widely reported on several major newsites. No Nigerians

Also, the names of the three people involved in the Twitter hack are online. Just google Graham Ivan Clark, the mastermind


Prosecutors have announced charges against three individuals, a 17-year-old from Florida and two men, from Florida and Britain, in connection with a hack that hit some of Twitter's most prominent accounts, in the largest and most well-coordinated security breach in the platform's history.

Authorities in Florida say Graham Ivan Clark, 17, of Tampa, Fla., masterminded the attack, allegedly breaking into the accounts of 130 Twitter accounts and duping followers of influential users to transfer more than $100,000 in Bitcoin to accounts associated with Clark. He is charged with 30 felonies in the state, including fraud, identity theft and hacking.


(NPR is naming Clark because he is being charged under Florida state law as an adult.)

In addition, federal prosecutors unsealed wire fraud, money laundering and other charges against Nima Fazeli, 22, of Orlando, Fla. and Mason Sheppard, 19, of Bognor Regis, U.K. They are accused of helping Clark sell access to some of the hacked accounts.

Twitter has said the hackers used a phone "spear phishing attack" to trick Twitter employees to turn over information that gave the attackers access to internal systems.

The Florida prosecutors on Friday added new detail about how exactly the scheme worked: Clark allegedly presented himself as a member of Twitter's IT team to a Twitter employee, and convinced that employee to hand over company credentials, which Clark used to get into the company's customer service portal.

Security protections were overcome and the passwords of some 130 accounts were reset, allowing the hackers to take control of the accounts, officials at Twitter have said.SOURCE

Lol... Always funny to me when people make this statement. They only cover news to make countries in Africa bad especially Nigeria.. The rate of fraud in Florida only is almost more than the rate of fraud in entire Africa but they won't announce that to you

They DO report extensively on foreign crimes.Also, they do report extensively on online fraud commited by other countries. Nigeria is just a very tiny amount of the fraud related news self. Hushpuppi only got widely reported because he went after US and some UK companies. If he had gone after say Russian companies, they won't have reported him. Same for Invoctus Obi who was even based in the US, and many others....

Infact, go and read any American news website, and you would think that the US is a crime ridden country self.

The problem is you get your news from Nigerian sites only. And Nigerian sites report news they think would be of importance TO Nigerians, not to oyinbos.

Also, Google and other online news algorithims steer you towards Nigerian related news as per your location when browsing.

FBI that tracked him down with their avaialble experts.

FBI won't recruit this guy. When they have people on their books that are far better than him expertwise, and know what to do

Plus the guy used a simple phisting scam...so commonplace....nothing sophisticated.
