The troubling implications of the Central Command social media hacking

In a coincidence many Americans may see as emblematic of the administration’s approach to global terror, President Obama was addressing the nation regarding cyber security Monday while hackers claiming to represent ISIS assumed control over the media accounts of the U.S. military’s Central Command (CENTCOM). “ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah’s permission we are in CENTCOM now,” said one tweet sent from CENTCOM’s account.

The hacking of the Command’s Twitter and YouTube accounts began Monday afternoon and lasted approximately 30 minutes before the accounts were taken offline. But that window offered the hackers the opportunity to post a string of tweets in support of ISIS, threats against U.S. military forces and their families, and military documents that included contact information for senior military personnel.

Dr. this announcement I stumbled on seems to me to be a good research task for a Freeper who has some time on their hands. This Generals need to be vetted to find out if their new assignments have any significant meaning beyond the obvious.
