But here's the part that's .... um... stunning....
Quote:The FBI arrested a man in Alabama on Thursday after accusing him of being behind the takeover of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s social media account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Justice Department said 25-year-old Eric Council Jr. was arrested in Athens, Alabama, after he was charged on October 10 with one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud.
Council faces a maximum of five years in prison if convicted, and the indictment notes that others were involved in the incident.
But here's the part that's .... um... stunning....
Quote:The indictment says Council Googled "SECGOV hack," and "how can I know for sure I am being investigated by the FBI," and "how long does it take to delete telegram account" as well as other queries related to whether he was being monitored by the FBI.
