Hackers claiming allegiance to the Islamic State took control of the social media accounts of the U.S. military's Central Command on Monday, posting threatening messages and propaganda videos, along with some military documents.

The command's Twitter and YouTube accounts were eventually taken offline, but not before a string of tweets and the release of military documents, some of which listed contact information for senior military personnel. A Centcom spokesman confirmed their accounts were "compromised," and said later that the accounts have been taken offline while the incident is investigated more.

"CENTCOM's operation military networks were not compromised and there was no operational impact to U.S. Central Command," a military statement said. "CENTCOM will restore service to its Twitter and YouTube accounts as quickly as possible. We are viewing this purely as a case of cybervandalism."

Military officials added in the statement that their initial assessment is that no classified information was posted, and that none of what was released came from Centcom's server or social media sites. The command will notify Defense Department and law enforcement authorities about the release of personally identifiable information and make sure that those affected are notified as quickly as possible, Centcom said.

Virtually all of the documents posted appear to already have been publicly available online, but the incident is nevertheless embarrassing to the U.S. military. Centcom oversees the U.S. military campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and frequently posts videos of airstrikes on the same accounts attacked Monday.

What was Barry doing at the time?


Embarrassingly, the hack happened as President Barack Obama was giving a speech on cyber-security.

If those that voted for this fool don't know what is going on by now...they never will.

They have brought on more destruction than they know.

Or...the other option is that they were hoping for the destruction. (radical transformation)


If you bring it up, you're labeled a "right wing extremist".

There is a good thread, with me predicting this, about 6 years back.
 
Well boys. We've come a long way in the last 6 years or so. Aren't you proud of the way it turned out? :oops: :oops: :oops:
 
How long until they hack into some big power grid? Supposedly China has that capability right now.
