US military social media accounts hacked by supposed ISIS terrorists.....The U.S. Department of Defense Central Commands Twitter feed and YouTube page were briefly infiltrated by hackers claiming to be associated with the Islamic State just as President Barack Obama was speaking about cyber security. The self-titled Cyber Caliphate took over the @CENTCOM Twitter account at around 12:30 Monday afternoon but officials appeared to have regained control just before 1:00 p.m. The CENTCOM YouTube page began displaying ISIS propaganda videos around the same time. Officials confirmed the hack to NBC News, but a former Department of Defense official told AOL News that no classified information was released as a result of the incident. AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK, ISIS, said one of the chilling messages posted to the DoD account by the insurgents.
