Zoombombers today disrupted a court hearing involving the Florida teen accused of masterminding a takeover of high-profile Twitter accounts, forcing the judge to stop the hearing. "During the hearing, the judge and attorneys were interrupted several times with people shouting racial slurs, playing music, and showing pornographic images," ABC Action News in Tampa Bay wrote. A Pornhub video forced the judge to temporarily shut down the hearing.

[...] "Predictably, the Zoom hearing for the 17-year-old alleged Twitter hacker in Fla. was bombed multiple times, with the final bombing of a pornhub clip ending the zoom portion of the proceedings," security reporter Brian Krebs wrote on Twitter. "How the judge in charge of the proceeding didn't think to enable settings that would prevent people from taking over the screen is beyond me. My guess is he didn't know he could."

Nash said that he'll require a password next time, according to WFLA reporter Ryan Hughes.

    Well, it's definitely done a great job of showing just how bumbling and incompetent most of our world leaders and authorities are.

    They are only a reflection of chronic societal psychoses. Most Americans will reelect 40 year incumbents. All around the world the same corrupt parties have ruled for over a century, and not by force, but by full consent of the people.

    If we don't replace them, who are the incompetents?

      It's more apathy than consent at this point. If you can't stop the train from going over the cliff, you can as well let go of the emergency brake and have a last drink.

        It's more apathy than consent at this point.

        Amongst the people that vote, it's more antipathy that motivates their choices. They vote against the other's candidate.

        All affirmatives are out the window.
