Porn Clip Disrupts Virtual Court Hearing for Alleged Twitter Hacker

Summary: A bond hearing held over Zoom by a Hillsborough County, Fla. court for Graham Clark, the 17-year-old charged in the July 15 Twitter hack, was disrupted when an attendee streamed a Pornhub clip for about 15 seconds before Judge Christopher C. Nash ended the broadcast. The meeting's time and ID were in public records, participants could unmute and share video by default, and the hearing concerned a defense motion on Clark's $750,000 bond, which Nash kept in place while dropping the requirement that Clark prove the source of the funds.

Bottom line: The hearing notice published the Zoom meeting ID, and the permissive default settings let strangers inject audio and video into a proceeding about a defendant charged with 30 felony counts - the same open-door configuration many organizations still run by default.
