With the right set of eyes, you can spot hackers on Twitter.

They have a strange image in their bio, something shady or obscure, and they write in unicode

characters and comment on privacy and anonymous tweets.

While looking for accounts like that for this show, I stumbled upon a Twitter account that

went by the name of Finn, and it met all this criteria.

And their pinned tweet read, I have to go quiet and if you're wondering where I am, read

this.

And there was a link to a news article, which said a high school had been hacked.

The article didn't say much more than that, so I messaged Finn.

No response.

Days go by, weeks.

I eventually forgot about him.

A month later I got a reply.

He said he did have a story for me, so I asked if we could talk on Skype.

He said he had no way to do that, because he's messaging me on Twitter through a hacked

handheld video game system, which was the only electronic device he had.

He told me everything else was confiscated.

I got the sense that he had gotten into some serious trouble.

Another month went by and he messaged me again, this time asking for my number so he can

call.

I gave him my number and waited hours went by.

Nothing.
