U.S. Central Command Twitter account apparently hacked by ISIS cyber group, threatens American soldiers

The Islamic State's so-called Cyber Caliphate took over the account and sent out personal information on the Twitter account, which has nearly 110,000 followers. 'We are coming, watch your back,' one tweet, signed ISIS, reads. The group also hacked the CentCom YouTube account and posted ISIS propaganda videos.

ISIS apparently hacked into the U.S. Central Command's Twitter account on Monday afternoon.

An ISIS hacker group has infiltrated the U.S. Central Command Twitter account and threatened American soldiers.

The so-called Cyber Caliphate seized the account around 12:30 p.m. Monday and sent a message reading, “AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS."

A pastebin link contains files, supposedly of sensitive Pentagon documents.

The group claimed to have taken over the account as part of its “CyberJihad,” and had changed it’s cover photo to that of a hooded man.

The tweets threatened American soldiers.

“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,” the document reads. “We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children. U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!”

Among the information leaked were the home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of retired Army general officers. Also leaked was information on military details concerning China and North Korea.

The group has also hacked CentCom's YouTube account and posted ISIS propoganda videos, one called "Flames of War" and another called "O Soliders of Truth Go Forth."

ISIS has used cyber warfare along with physical terror.

The Twitter account frequently tweets out updates and news releases on the American airstrikes aimed at ISIS locations in Syria and Iraq. CentCom is based at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

Last week, the group hacked the Twitter page of the Albuquerque Journal in New Mexico and WBOC-TV in Maryland and posted similar threats.

Well I quess these bastards are unstoppable," A pastebin link contains files, supposedly of sensitive Pentagon documents." Do these documents whimper when you read them?

 

[Twila]

US Central Command uses a pastebin?

weird.

 

[Zipperfish]

It's a twitter account. It's noce of ISIS to warn US soldiers, but pretty sure they were already watching their backs.

 

[taxslave]

They should be watching their backs what with the US military record on friendly fire.
(oxymoron if ever I heard one)

 

[lone wolf]

I hope the Hotline is still a telephone

It means all their telepaths locked themselves in a room with no door and rather than floating on through like they should they stopped to gather they thoughts. When the US does it it come to naught. It isn't like it is a condition that should be stopped, even if it could.

I hope the Hotline is still a telephone

900 prefex probably.

It still works that is why the US drops the weapons by chute, they don't want to hurt anybody.

Tell the truth, the hat is making his posts less trustworthy.

 

[Kreskin]

They probably set it up to hacked and thus traced.

This exceeding trifling witling, considering ranting criticizing concerning adopting fitting wording being exhibiting transcending learning, was displaying, notwithstanding ridiculing, surpassing boasting swelling reasoning, respecting correcting erring writing, and touching detecting deceiving arguing during debating.

 

[damngrumpy]

True or not doesn't matter right there the governments have a perceived threat
The answer its an excuse to round up all suspected and known threats and put
them in special prisons as an act of criminal warfare. By regarding them as criminals
they wouldn't have to give them Geneva Convention status. It is becoming more of
a fact everyday we are at war.

I'll take that as a 'yes'.

Good Lord! She gave you enough letters for a couple of triple word scores and a verse or two and all you can come up with is a guess at a yes?

The hack of Central Command is not reassuring concerning the competence of the military.

 

[Locutus]

And their Youtube Channel.

And now, the punchline: ... as Obama Talks Cybersecurity

Eh, it's probably nothing.

Watching this on CNN the site is an open one so no big deal
ICIS should think about this before the world comes up with
a plan to really go after them along with Boko Horam or what
ever that group of misfits is called.
