US Central Command Twitter feed hacked by ISIS supporters
CNBC ^ | 1-12-2014 | Everett Rosenfeld

Posted on 01/12/2015 10:10:23 AM PST by tcrlaf

The Twitter account for U.S. Central Command was apparently hacked on Monday, with pro-ISIS messages plastering the account's profile.

The first message was posted at 12:29 p.m. ET, with the words "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." and the hashtag "#CyberCaliphate."

The profile's image was replaced with a photo that includes the text "i love you isis." Just before 1 p.m. ET profile and banner images were reverted to their default

Let me know when they hack CentCom’s network, not their Twitter feed.
The other stuff they posted could come from many other public sources, or just plain faked.

I’d bet there are thousands of regular 13 year old boys that could hack a twitter account if they took the time off of Steam.

surely there wouldn’t be moslems among the CENTCOM staff

that would have been like having communists on the military staffs in charge of Cold War strategic weapons

Why would Central Command have a twitter feed? —

Lazy, convenient, popular, access from your phone anywhere (like Paula’s bed), etc.

I was taught: Security is NOT convenient.

I sincerely hope that our military leadership has their head far enough out in the daylight to not put anything important on either social media or the internet. I’ve been warning about the dangers of this since 1985. I remember being extremely careful back in the 60’s even using gen II FAX. If our military has any actual exposure to this krap then it’s way past time for a house cleaning. Guess we can start with Petraeus?

Amongst all possible explanations for this I suggest the White House based muslim brotherhood members who access DHS have their fingers in this cr@p sandwich.

It could be a response to last weeks Anonymous announcement they were getting involved in outing ISIS.
