Odaily Planet Daily News: The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced on Friday that 26-year-old Alabama resident Eric Council Jr. has been sentenced to 14 months in prison. Eric Council Jr. was charged with conspiracy to commit serious identity theft and device access fraud, with his crimes related to the intrusion of the U.S. SEC's social media accounts. Previously, the U.S. SEC's X account had been hacked and disseminated false information, incorrectly claiming that a spot Bitcoin ETF had been approved. The false posting occurred a day before the U.S. SEC actually approved the spot Bitcoin ETF, which briefly caused market fluctuations. (The Block)
