Hammoud hires hackers to steal opponents' personal information

By Margot Su

After the media released gossip articles aimed at candidates, they decided to take a closer look on Ali Hammoud. To the media’s surprise, they discovered a groundbreaking truth. Hammoud had been keeping unexpected secrets from the voters.

Looking for possible news ideas on Tuesday, main editor Mia Friedman looked around the room, hoping to take photos for future articles. As she passed by Hammoud’s table, she spotted Hammoud contacting his fellow hackers via email and other forms of social platforms. As his fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, green lettered code language appeared on the screen and his eyes darted back and forth from the email tab to the document where he was developing his hack code. Friedman peered closer and spotted numerous photos of other candidates and their personal identification, (these included addresses, Facebook info, and schools they went to), flashing onto the Acer Chromebook screen.

Before she got too much information, Hammoud quickly turned around and shut his computer, in hopes to keep his secret. Friedman rushed back to the media table, looking flustered, as she struggled to get out words on what she had just witnessed.
