A 17-year-old resident of Tampa Bay, Florida, was arrested and charged Friday for the massive Twitter hack in mid-July that caused some billionaires, politicians and celebrities to tweet instructions to donate bitcoin, and prompted Twitter to lock verified users out of their accounts in response as they tried to address the problem.
The Hillsborough State Attorney’s Office has filed 30 charges against the teenager, including 17 counts of communications fraud over $300 and 10 counts of fraudulent use of personal information.
