Odaily Planet Daily News: The U.S. Department of Justice’s official website announced that Eric Council Jr., a hacker who previously participated in the attack on the U.S. SEC’s X account, was arrested by the FBI. It is reported that the hacker is an Alabama man who took over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) X account without authorization in January 2024 and released false news from the SEC chairman (Bitcoin ETF has been approved), resulting in a short-term surge of $1,000 in the price of Bitcoin (BTC). Shortly after the relevant unauthorized content was released, the U.S. SEC regained control of its X account and confirmed that the relevant information was unauthorized and its X account was attacked due to a security vulnerability. After this corrective disclosure, the price of BTC fell by more than $2,000. It is reported that Eric Council Jr. has been indicted for conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud, and the indictment was released today.
