Twitter hacker ‘PlugWalkJoe’ handed a five year prison sentence.
Joseph James O’Connor, aka PlugWalkJoe, is a UK citizen connected to a massive 2020 breach on Twitter that pushed crypto scam ads through accounts for Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Apple, and others, as well as other social media account breaches.
