Today we explore the story of Graham Ivan Clark, the teen responsible for 2020's infamous Twitter hack which made him $117,000 USD, pennies to a teenager, who at the time of his arrest, was found with over $3,000,000 USD.
The story starts in his early days, where we explore how he stole thousands of dollars from Minecraft players through his YouTube channel under the alias “Open” where he posted hardcore factions trapping montages. Then, how he moved on from that, into stealing millions of dollars in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from tech investors through alleged SIM Swapping attacks which he liked learned about from members on the notorious hacking forum OGUsers.
Graham was no ghost though and his antics eventually caught up with him in the form of the secret service. He faced a criminal investigation for the theft of over a million dollars, but amazingly prosecutors ended up declining to charge Graham.
It seems Graham felt like he could get away with anything, as long as he did it before he turned 18, and this is when he got greedy and committed his final scam against Twitter.
