On Thursday, investigators in France arrested an unemployed 25-year old man who appears to have been responsible for the spectacular attacks on Twitter accounts that included those of US President Barack Obama and pop singer Britney Spears. Three have been charged in alleged connection with the recent high-profile Twitter hack including a 17-year-old teen from Florida who is the reported mastermind behind the attack. Cybercriminals can use social media in many ways in order to trick employees.
