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

Why would Central Command have a twitter feed?

Did they have one before this "Hack"?

Or was this creating an account in Central Command's name?

Would you please provide a source and link to these pictures, please? They are NOT on the link in your initial post.

And, um, loose lips sink ships.

Twitter is 140 characters. That looks like a lot more than that. Did they upload a picture of that text?

If so, did they take the picture file apart to see what other information is contained within it?

Why would CENTCOM even have a twitter account?

They are there to protect us not to participate in social media.

We need a total reset on our Government and military accountability

Absolutely, in February the TALKS for Net Neutrality and limitations, regulations is coming to control the Internet. We have how many MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD in Obama’s Cabinet? A lot. I believe we are being conned.

I think this is like the Sony Hacking, INSIDE JOB.

Not buying it either, it’s PROPAGANDA AND AN INSIDE JOB.

No doubt about it.

It was found Bush's homeland security boss had people wandering around this inside of his private residence who'd entered the country illegally...During war time...

So there ya have it...

Over and out.

Perhaps ? A set up excuse to shut the internet down due to national security reasons, of course.
Never let a crises go to waste.

Even IF it were true, a Twitter account would be on public domain, not on some private military discreet secure network.
