Hacker who broke into Twitter CEO’s account arrested
The hacker, a minor who hacked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s account by the ‘SIM swapping’ technique in August and sent out numerous anti-semitic and Nazi-related tweets has been arrested.
Authorities arrested the individual who is part of The Chuckling Squad, a hacker group behind Dorsey’s hack that has also claimed responsibility for hacks of other celebrities, including actress Chloe Grace Moretz, Motherboard reported on Sunday.
“He was a member of Chuckling Squad but not anymore. He was an active member for us by providing celebs/public figure [phone] numbers and helped us hack them,” a leader in the hacking group known as “Debug” was quoted as saying.
Debug said the group kicked out the member behind Dorsey hacking in October.
