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.

Around 1:09 p.m. ET the Twitter account was suspended.A YouTube page labeled as belonging to Centcom was also apparently hacked. By 1:30 p.m. ET, that page had been blanked.

"We can confirm that the U.S. Central Command's Twitter and YouTube accounts were compromised earlier today. We are taking appropriate measures to address the matter," a defense official told NBC News. Later tweets included images of what were apparently spreadsheets labeled as containing the contact info and home addresses of retired U.S. army generals.

 

This isnt exactly a cyber war yet. Its somewhat concerning knowing we're on the verge of a new era of war..

They do, apparently. "Look at me, I can hack your twitter accounts and make threats!"

I'm going to boot camp in July so let hope we did something about them before then.

[dadasmithywinkle]

This is big, why? They broke into a YOUTUBE and TWITTER ACCOUNT. There is NOTHING major about that, aside from the owner of the accounts.

[Psykomantis00]

Yup.

 

They do, apparently. "Look at me, I can hack your twitter accounts and make threats!"

I mean, it's fucking twitter. Twitter should have been on this asap. Revoke access, wait till Uncle Sam calls for the new pass. Done.

Too hard, effort is impossible.

We can backtrace their IP. The consequences will never be the same.

Sounds like normal twitter to me.

[Gr0egercesg]

I thought anonymous pledged their support.

So whens the retaliation... 

[pk-man]

plays America, Fuck Yeah!

[ivan134]

I think people are giving ISIS way too much credit. I highly doubt this was done by them as opposed to someone with a keylogger who thought this would be a funny joke.

[StingBull]

What the hell is US Central Command and why does it have a Twitter account?
