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.

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?

Is it me or it is extremely stupid to interfere with a court proceeding of a nation state, even more of the United States. In any country i have the idea you could pile up a huge number of very serious crimes with the "funny" actions that were done here, as a court is an institution of sovereignty. Honestly i would not mind an example being made.
There is nothing fun about a court hearing disruption and shows weakness and lack of sovereignty in the cyber dimension plane. Not my country personally, but the justice system of a country as flawed as it may be, is the wall separating order from chaos; peace from violence.

Yes it wrong, but I can only give a nod of approval and a smile to the prank as it was so well placed in the context of the Twitter hack. The incident is easy to prevent. If you allow any outsider to transmit audio and video to your audience, you're the irresponsible one. No password. No screening.
