A U.K. man has pleaded guilty to helping orchestrate a high-profile hack on the Twitter accounts of numerous celebrities and politicians, including Joe Biden and Kanye West. The attack, which took place in 2020, targeted about 130 people, Twitter said at the time. Joseph O'Connor, 23, who is known online as "PlugwalkJoe", has also plead guilty to his role in a SIM-swapping attack, which is when an attacker convinces a mobile phone carrier to transfer a person's phone number to their device to bypass multi-factor authentication on online accounts.
