Obama's Twitter hacker receives a suspended sentence
A 23-year-old Frenchman has been given a suspended jail sentence for hacking into US President Obama's account on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Mr Cousteix was caught hacking into the president's account in March after FBI investigators in the US alerted French authorities.
Investigators found that the hacker deduced the passwords of Twitter administrators from public information on the web, thus gaining access to the accounts of important and famous individuals.
