Social media accounts for the U.S. military’s Central Command appeared to have been hacked on Monday, with the command posting threatening messages on Twitter and YouTube to American troops.
In a statement, the Central Command confirmed that its Twitter account had been “compromised” and said it “is taking appropriate measures to address the matter.” The statement did not elaborate on the extent or seriousness of the hack or who may have been responsible. The account was disabled by Twitter around 1:10 p.m.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Obama administration is “examining and investigating the extent of the incident.”
“This is something we are obviously looking into and something we take seriously,” he told reporters Monday, adding he didn’t have a lot of information. He said that there is a “pretty significant difference” between “a large data breach and the hacking of a Twitter account.”

Right before the President is about to announce control on the Internet and this just happens......
Oh no it could NEVER be the very same people that are trying to control the Internet. It's just a coincidence......(sarcasm off)
Nope not these people. . The same people who gave weapons to cartel members to help kill the 2nd amendment. Nope not them at all.
LOL! That’s right!
Think Fast and Furious.
Think Benghazi.
Think of the “affordable” health care act. It’s a joke.
It’s all a lie from certified on the record liars.
We never had this problem back when the only social media our military had was a unit formation and a 1SG.
