PlugWalkJoe hacker Arrested for Hacking Famous Twitter Accounts last Year

Joseph O'Connor, a 22-year-old British citizen known by the nickname PlugWalkJoe, was arrested in Spain yesterday for his involvement in the hacking of Twitter in 2020. O'Connor compromised the accounts of former US President Barack Obama and Elon Musk and disappeared with more than $100,000 in BTC.

O'Connor was a member of a group of hackers who posted a message on hacked Twitter pages about doubling any payment in bitcoins sent to the cryptocurrency wallet they specified.

In July 2020, O'Connor gave an interview to The New York Times and was quite optimistic about a possible detention:

"They can come and arrest me. I would have laughed at them. I didn't do anything," he said in an interview with the Times.

The arrest of Joseph O'Connor is the final stage of the investigation into the consequences of the hacking of Twitter. Earlier, the remaining members of the hacker group were arrested: Graham Ivan Clark (Graham Ivan Clark), Nima " Rolex "Fazeli (Nima" Rolex "Fazeli) and Mason "Chaewon" Sheppard (Mason "Chaewon" Sheppard).
