Hacked

The next day at lunch Jack was discussing social media things with his best friend Nate. While eating, Jack broke the news to him.
"Nate I got hacked last night," he began "it was only a few hours after I hit 20000 followers on Instagram."
"Are you serious?" Nate inquired "How comes you didn't tell me sooner?"
"I wanted to tell you in person." Jack said right as the end of lunch bell started ringing. They had math together a block after lunch.
"We'll talk about this more in math" Jack said "Until then tell nobody"
"Alright." Nate promised.

As Jack rounded the corner to hallway B100 he couldn't stop thinking about his social media accounts. He had worked so hard for them, those hackers didn't deserve to have them! They were tweeting and posting horrible things and people were unfollowing him. Jack was so caught up in his thoughts that he ran right into Rick Smith. The biggest, baddest, and overall meanest bully in the whole school.
"What the hell do you want" Rick asked in a very demanding voice.
"Unmm I'm sorry I wasn't watching were I was going" answered Jack.
"Well that's gunna cost ya. 10 dollars and I'll let you got right now, or if you don't pay. I'll suppose you have a few other methods of paying, most involving my fists"
Jack didn't want any trouble so he forked over the 10 dollars and went on his way to science.

When he got to science, he completely zoned out. Ever since he told Nate he thought about it 10 times more than before.
"Jack, who is the father of evolution?" His teacher asked him.
"Ummm Charles Darwin?" He said questionably
"Great" said his teacher "Now, John, what was the name of the boat Charles Darwin sailed on to come to his conclusion of evolution?"
"HMS Beagle." said John, the class nerd. This question asking continued for the rest of the 50 minute block. The whole time commonly occurring questions was popping into his head. Why would they hack him? Why would they corrupt his accounts? Who did it? What did they hope to gain by this?

When Jack got to math he met up with Nate. They sat right next to each other in their assigned seats so it wasn't hard for them to talk and pass notes during class.
"Yeah bro so last night I was just chilling on my bed after a live stream of hitting 20000 followers and I got a notification from Instagram saying my password has changed and that I was signed out of my account," Jack began "And then when I was about to fall asleep I got another notification but it was from Twitter and it said something similar."
"Okay well just act like you just gave up on the accounts so the hacker thinks they won" Nate told him, "and then, during that time we are tracking him down and when we find him we are going tell the police about it and hope they help us."

After math class they went to their final class of the day-gym. This was by far the worst class for Jack because he wasn't the most coordinated. It's not that he was fat or short but because he couldn't stay on his feet, if he did anything other than run or walk in a straight line, he would trip himself up and fall over. And today they were playing dodgeball. While they were playing Jack got hit hard on every spot of his body and he was a hurting mess afterwards. If getting his social media accounts hacked wasn't enough.

After school, Jack and Nate met up at the library. If they were going to take down a hacker it is better if they use a network that can't trace back to them. So they both hoped on computers next to each other and began downloading the proper software. They needed to figure out then IP address of the hacker and then figure out which person there was the hacker. This would be a very difficult task, but they had everything they would need for its completion.
