Obama's Twitter account hacker released
The hacker who broke into US President Barack Obama's Twitter account has been released by the French police.
The unemployed 25-year-old was taken into custody after being chased by both French officials and FBI agents, according to a foreign news agency.
The suspect, who used the pseudonym "Hacker Croll", was said to have had no specialist training and gained access into the popular micro-blogging website by simply guessing users' passwords, reports The BBC.
His targets also include other US celebrities, including Britney Spears, according to officials.
