Well, this boy is computer wizard and high probability he is not working alone just to pull off that kind of big attack from famous people and waiting for others to be arrested as well. Too sad to see his hacking skills got wasted again due to fraud attacks but justice must be served at all times because it's a crime he must face it for a long sentence in jail to repent of his wrong doings.

Of course, just because he iis high skilled that isn't a justification or reason for mild sentence. Crime is a crime and ww witness all the time how very few cyber criminals get caught and sentenced.
And maybe the was working alone, without accomplice but further investigation should reveal more facts.

There is a 100% chance that they are going to make an example of this kid, I'm expecting 5-10 years in prison at the very least.

Nah I doubt they will be so harsh. 5 years in a minimum security prison, sentence lowered due good behaviour, probably no prior record and age and he is out in maybe 2-3 years Imho, with whole life ahead of him.

After release i can see him working as security consultant or something along those lines and making shit load of money.

I can't believe just a 17year old teen carried out that high profile hack. There must be more to this hack talking about bitcoin and giveway. Just a teen couldn't have done that alone for what reason? A proper investigation should be conducted to avoid leaving the bigger devil.

If they really had someone more serious helping them, they wouldn't be caught in such a stupid way. So exactly because of that I think it was just those kids and not some kind of criminal mastermind behind this.

Exactly what I'm thinking,a 17 year old kid can't actually carry out this operation alone he definitely had some help, I believe there are other accomplices out there, so I agree with @leonardo7, they should carry out more investigation,and catch the guys who helped him.

The good news is that they have arrested a suspected criminal. However, it is doubtful whether the arrested 17-year-old was involved alone. There is a possibility that more people are involved in hacking the accounts of high profile people in the world. Hopefully the concerned authorities will look into the matter. I also believe that if there is any leakage from the Twitter authorities, they will also correct it.

2 words. Alleged and Accused means that they are not sure that these are the ones who really did the famous twitter hacking incident

Four words "innocent until proven guilty" that's why you see "Alleged and Accused". The FBI, IRS, US Secret Service were able to gather solid evidences which led to the arrest but the hackers still have to be tried in court.

I think that these 3 who got arrested are just puppets of a high profile organizations although I don't have any proofs to see

There's no evidence leading to that. Reading this may help you understand https://www.wired.com/story/how-alleged-twitter-hackers-got-caught-bitcoin/

Among the listed participants in the investigation was blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.

i don't see how much they helped at all because according to the story i've read they caught them by investigating centralized databases which had nothing to do with bitcoin in first place. it was mainly the forum they all hung out and communicated in called "OGUsers", there was also Discord they used and among their accounts in this site they were also used the same Email address and same wallet to connect to Coinbase website and Binance. not to mention that their IP addresses were all the same (no TOR, no VPN,...) and were used in all these places!

this makes me wonder why the hell are the media using the term "mastermind" for these dudes

UPDATE: 3:30 PM EST — According to the U.S. Department of Justice, two other individuals — 19-year-old U.K. resident Mason Sheppard and 22-year-old Florida resident Nima Fazeli — have also been charged for their alleged participation in the hacks.

I already knew there must have been some other guys who get involved in this when I started to read the first letters of this thread. There's no way this kid can plan and execute that scam all by himself. There need to be some guys who do the hacking, planning, control the money, etc. I'll be waiting for the update as I believe there can be some more guys behind this scam.

2 words. Alleged and Accused means that they are not sure that these are the ones who really did the famous twitter hacking incident but anyway a 17 year old hacking twitter accounts of famous peoples and the prosecutor said that this isn't an ordinary 17 year old. Hell yeah!!!! Cheesy

. A 17 year old hacker isn't normal but this implies that people who are involved in hacking are becoming younger.

I think that these 3 who got arrested are just puppets of a high profile organizations although I don't have any proofs to see but anyway, I'm curious where will be the bounty of Justin Sun will go Cheesy

a 17 years old is still minor and arrest is seem not to be the right word to use when arresting a minor. It is more likely saving them from this kind of their illegal activities. However, here in our place if this teen will turn into his legal age during the time he was in custody then that person will have to face the case in the court and if found guilty then he will get the punishment and usually it will be imprisonment. The prison is one of the shittiest place on earth especially here in our place.

The US police should be able to dig up information from the 17-year-old boy, because I'm sure he might not work alone in the apartment.
And it is impossible that the child is only assisted by 2 teenagers, if it is true that only 3 teenagers are involved, it means that Twitter
security is very fragile. There must be a number of other professional hackers involved, because of the related hacking incident on a large
scale. It is impossible to do it by only 3 teenagers, and even hacked accounts are famous, so there are a lot of victims. This 3 teenagers
punishment is certain above 5 years in prison.

Seem too odd that they are caught this way, I really think they got the wrong suspects. They hack some accounts with and knowns how cryptocurrency works but just sent the funds they gathered from their scams to binance and coinbase. How are they not aware that binance and coinbase can actually freeze their accounts?

The story seem just made a hacker too naive to be true. For a 17 year old kid who knows about internet, penetration and computer security, somehow it doesn't add up.

Im having the same thoughts.For people who do tend to hack a big company like Twitter and do make such scam crypto or bitcoin attempt then they are fully aware on what they are against into.

Its just really non-sense that they do leave trace or do cash out without any hesitance? Arent they thinking those possibilities for them to be fucked up on using up those centralized platforms?

That careless cost them but actually its a good news.

CRYPTOCITIZEN $CCASH

Only 17!! and he is doing these shits now. I admire he have a good talent and skills of hacking. But unfortunately he just did an unethical job which will cost him a lot. I am sure the judge will give him a very hard sentence for his shameful work.

Apart from that I also think the same. Are they the real suspect? Or they are only acting like them? A big question!!

Twitter hackers should be arrested because they have hacked the most popular social site and they attacked on the most vital person in this world.
Now hope all funds should be recovered.

They should be arrested but what sentence would you give them?

I find it a bit awkward that you can be sentenced for 5 years in prison when you rape someone and a hacker who exploits a vulnerability in a program can get 10.

I wonder what sentences they will get but probably higher than a typical rapist or a thief.

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies

That kid must be extraordinary intelligent. i agree completely that Bitcoins will get more publicity from the news about the hack. Again, it also shows the vulnerability of these platforms and the fact that they can be hacked at any time.

the onus is on crypto traders and investors to guide their wallet details to avoid being hacked. No matter the security of this websites, hackers are always on the lookout for flaws and loose-ends. According to federal agents, Sheppard was found out partly because he used a personal driver’s license to verify himself with the Binance and Coinbase cryptocurrency exchanges, and his accounts were found to have sent and received some of the scammed bitcoin. the bolded were exactly what gave him away.

whichever way, lets be carefull with our online accounts

Well, we got one thing out of this. Every person who reads the news has now heard about bitcoin (possibly in a skewed way), although I suspect most of them still don't understand what it is.

That would help the spread, as there are people who will be curious and begin to seek for more information about this industry, sometimes even
there are things that not good there's still implications that it will help the process. Those hackers did illegal things but brought interest to whoever read that news.

It will also gives warnings to people who are using social medias, the chance of being hacked is not by far if this young boys able to do it for sure there are more attack to expect.

Better securities for those well known social media site will be expected though, after this hacking thing adjustment should be done to protect
all those users who are using their service.

Damn dude.

This kid is going to get one hefty sentence.

I will not be surprised if he is going to be working under serious guide to unlock some other applications. The guy brain is too hot to be wasted just like that.

I feel pity on him if he will only end his life in jail. I hope they can work around here and just hire him for other vital projects. He's too young to just spend his entire life in prison. He can still change and do something different for his life. Let's see what will be the verdict on him and his accessories.

I don't think that will be the case. They will obviously punish this kid since that is a lot of cases against him. Also, he should even think what they've done would really throw them in jail. I am not a genius but I know better than that.
