US Military's Youtube and Twitter accounts have been hacked by a pro-ISIS group
CNN stated that the accounts were subsequently suspended, and investigations are currently ongoing.
See the US Central Command's statement below:
"Earlier today,
U.S. Central Command’s Twitter and YouTube sites were compromised for
approximately 30 minutes. These sites reside on commercial, non-Defense
Department servers and
both sites have
been temporarily taken offline while we look into the incident further.
CENTCOM’s operational military networks were not compromised and there
was no operational impact to U.S. Central Command. CENTCOM will restore
service to its Twitter and YouTube accounts as quickly as possible. We
are viewing this purely as a case of cybervandalism.
In the meantime,
our initial assessment is that no classified information was posted and
that none of the information posted came from CENTCOM’s server or
social media sites. Additionally, we are notifying appropriate DoD and
law enforcement authorities about the potential release of personally
identifiable information and will take appropriate steps to ensure any
individuals potentially affected are notified as quickly as possible."
