Zoombombers Show Porn After Hacking Bond Hearing of Alleged Twitter Hacker

The bond hearing of the Florida teen accused of hacking numerous high-profile Twitter accounts has itself been hacked.

The hearing of 17-year-old Graham Clark, who was charged over the July 15 Twitter hack, took place via a password-free Zoom meeting. Zoombombers took advantage of the lack of security and hacked the meeting, shouting racial slurs, playing music, and showing porno images.

Presiding over the hearing, Judge Christopher Nash (image below) tried his best to keep control of the situation, stating after one interruption: "I'm removing people as quickly as I can whenever a disruption happens."

However, the final straw - an explicit pornographic video - saw Nash shut down the hearing.

Clark's charges include 11 counts of fraudulent use of personal information and 17 counts of communications fraud. He, along with another teenager from the UK and a 22yo from Florida, allegedly hacked the Twitter accounts of high profile figures such as Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Joe Biden, in an apparent scam that saw them tweet false requests for Bitcoin donations.

Clark was arrested July 31 (after the trio netted more than $100,000) and entered a not guilty plea on August 4. His bond is set at $725,000 and he remains in custody awaiting his next hearing, scheduled for October 7.

Court officials say that hearing will be password protected.
