ISIS ‘cyber Caliphate’ Hacks US Military’s Twitter And Youtube Accounts by factpost(m): 12:05pm On Jan 13, 2015
ISIS ‘Cyber Caliphate’ hacks US military’s Twitter and YouTube accounts
A hacker group called Cyber Caliphate claiming to be associated with ISIS last night seized control of the Twitter and YouTube accounts of @CENTCOM, US Central Military Command.
The hackers defaced the @CENTCOM Twitter account and linked to a message in Pastebin.
In the message posted in Pastebin the hackers wrote: “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the CyberCaliphate under the auspices of ISIS continues its CyberJihad. While the US and its satellites kill our brothers in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan we broke into your networks and personal devices and know everything about you.
“You'll see no mercy infidels. ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now.
“We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children. U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!”
The hackers went on to post data from army mobile devices ostensibly to prove it had access to military data.
CENTCOM confirmed the hacking: “We can confirm that CENTCOM Twitter and YouTube accounts were compromised earlier today. We are taking appropriate measures to address the matter. We have no further information to provide at this time.”
Central Command said that the sites were compromised for approximately 30 minutes.
It said the sites were not connected to US Department of Defense websites.
At the time of writing both sites were restored to their original settings. CENTCOM said it is working with law enforcement agencies to get to the bottom of the hack.
The Twitter account for Centcom, the USA's central military command, was hacked last night by a group claiming to be affiliated with the self-proclaimed Islamic State, also known as ISIS.
The cyber-jihadis claimed the hack was in response to the killing of their "brothers" in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, and warned American soldiers to "watch [their] backs".

They're lucky George Bush isn't on seat.
That's the approach Nigerians expect Goodluck Jonathan to embrace but they must remember the citizens turned against George Bush then.
