"You'll see no mercy infidels. ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now,” the document reads. “We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children. U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!”

Among the information leaked were the home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of retired Army general officers.

Twitter isn't controlled by the US military so they have no say in that website's security.
 
You are right, but how did they get the phone numbers and addresses of retired officers?

Good question. But we should wait to see if that information is actually real and not falsified. Information like that could be collected in many different ways without ever breaching a military network.
 
"ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base."


According to another report one of the images posted showed the inside of what is supposed to be one of our military facilities, taken from a web cam., along with the above message. They also state it was not just retired military commanders. Let's hope it is fake.

Florida-based CENTCOM live-tweets attack on ISIS terrorists www.news965.com

now just how stupid is centcom??

They live tweeted attacks on ISIS last Sept?
U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, located at Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base, live-tweeted details about the attack as it unfolded.

U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria.

— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) September 23, 2014

Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time.

— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) September 23, 2014

We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate.

— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) September 23, 2014

The decision to conduct these strikes was made earlier today by CENTCOM commander under authorization granted him by the president.

— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) September 23, 2014

Turns out they (centcom) couldn't shut it down without contacting twitter, even though they have a cyber command with a budget of over $400 million a year
 
As I said, they have no control over a third party website. I think it was a stupid policy decision years ago to start using them.
Throw in budget cuts every year and hiring freezes....you get what you pay for.

ISIS is pretty desperate for attention if they are hacking Twitter accounts.
 
Interestingly enough it happened to occur while Obama was giving a speech about cybersecurity
"You'll see no mercy infidels. ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now,” the document reads. “We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children. U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!”

So, the Pentagon says no 'classified ' information was hacked. Does that mean other info was?
