I really can't believe this!

> Hackers claiming allegiance to the Islamic State took control
of the social media accounts of the U.S. military’s Central
Command on Monday, posting threatening messages and propaganda
videos, along with some military documents.
>
> The command’s Twitter and YouTube accounts were eventually
taken offline, but not before a string of tweets and the release
of military documents, some of which listed contact information
for senior military personnel. A Centcom spokesman confirmed
their accounts were “compromised,” and said later that the
accounts have been taken offline while the incident is
investigated more.

No? I bet they didn't have to work all that hard to get in.
Fortunately our Atomic weapons and land-based missiles are not
internet-connected.
Unfortunately almost all our power, water, etc.
infrastructure.....is. At some point we need to start taking
data security seriously.

Why in the world does CENTCOM need a twitter account? Were
prolly paying tens of supergrades to maintain this thing.
