Army's Public Website Hacked by Unknown Intruders
NBC News ^ | 06/08/15

Defense officials confirm the official public Army website has been hacked by unknown intruders demanding the U.S. stop training rebel fighters inside Syria.

Unlike the massive hack into Office of Personnel Management records, the officials stress the website contains no official classified information or private personal data of any Amy personnel, military or civilian.

The messages reportedly proclaimed "YOU'VE BEEN HACKED" and added "YOUR COMMANDERS ADMIT THEY ARE TRAINING THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE SENT YOU TO DIE FIGHTING."

It's not clear yet whether the Army or the hackers shut down the website.

The officials say the website is for general public access with general information about the Army, press releases and Army generated news stories.

Hacking isn’t nice but more and more I suspect there is a grain of truth to what these hackers wrote.

Hackers affiliated with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad swiftly claimed responsibility for taking down the U.S. Army’s website Monday afternoon.

With each passing day, we look weaker and weaker to the entire world.

I think it's much more than just "looking" weaker, I think we truly are getting weaker in many ways.
