    Law enforcement has struck a blow against the group that compromised Twitter chief Jack Dorsey's account, albeit relatively late. Motherboard has learned that police arrested a former leader of Chuckling Squad (unnamed as the person is a child) roughly two weeks ago. The suspect allegedly used SIM swapping to obtain Dorsey's phone number, while others in the group helped with defacing the CEO's account with random messages and slurs.

    The attack that compromised Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's account might have been part of a larger spree. Intruders appear to have hijacked actress Chloe Moretz's Twitter account on September 4th, tweeting both vile language and links to Instagram, where there were supposedly nude photos of other celebrities. The hackers also claimed to have Dorsey's social security number.
