17In the past hour the Twitter account belonging to U.S. Central Command was hacked by someone or a group of individuals claiming to be from ISIS.

A series of tweets were sent out with sensitive information about U.S. military strategy toward North Korea and China. The tweets also threatened military personnel and their families. UPDATE: The information that was posted on the account has been verified by intelligence sources as real information hacked directly from CENTCOMM, meaning this wasn’t simply a hack of a Twitter account, but against CENTCOMM itself. Since the breach, Twitter has suspended the CENTCOMM account.

President Obama was giving a speech about cyber security when the breach happened.
