I wonder if any of the information they posted on twitter was legitimate, I was surprised how many people were RTing their stuff. I guess there are ISIS aligned hacker groups now.

Seems legit... or not.

But why would they claim they did something like that, which few would believe anyway? If you want to bluff, you should make your bluff believable.

These people are absolutely infantile, it's like watching kids in a playground taunting each other.

If they did in fact dox a bunch of American soldiers it would be a pretty big security threat, considering they can put a list out there on the internet and call for every self radicalized crazy to use it as a hit list.

In the article it links to something supposedly stolen, a picture. That is unclass/fouo which while not meant to be handed around like a walmart flier is not kept on protected drives either for the most part. Sounds like they got access to one of the informational sharepoints and now they think they are hot shit.

Some of this stuff was so over the top, it makes you wonder if somebody did this for the lulz, even tweeting selfies of nude women and claiming they were pictures of soldiers wives.

'we are in your pcs, at every base'... so ISIS is saying 'all your base are belong to us' !

Taking a website down and getting access to a twitter account aren't at all on the same level of difficulty.

That said, this is a twitter issue. Breaking into Centcom's twitter and breaking into my twitter are about as difficult. Assuming we both use competent passwords, it's down to twitter themselves, for the most part.

$50 the password was Usaroxxx69

55$ for 0000000
69$ for 123Kappa123

Really, they just supposedly leaked some highly classified documents dealing with South Korea.

In any case - US, what the fuck?
First Chinese steal every single bit of information about your aircraft and radars and now some fucking sandkebabs hack your Twitter account.

[Undies]

This is exactly what I felt - great - you hacked TWITTER - big kudos ISIS....

Now actually getting into CENTCOM and acquiring something.... that would be a story worth the worry - this is just as bad as the nude celeb photo leaks

Damn it they need to stop using 'password123' as the password for everything!

well to be fair, they do have a lot of accounts and passwords can be hard to remember.

thats why i capitalize the W in passWord, harder to crack.

shit, I dont play around with my passwords. And if their password was not as good as mine, then they deserve to be hacked, since it was the military where I learned my passwords.

26 character password (min) Numbers, Upper/lowercase, special characters. If they cant even do this (minimum), then they deserve to get hacked.

Cyber Caliphate is actually a really cool name.

This is going to create a shitstorm if the major media runs with it though..

It kind of makes me think of a room of scantilly clad middle eastern/mediterranean women though, doing webcam shows.

Sony consulted on there firewall I assume?

There's no way this doesn't exist somewhere on the internet

lol@them thinking that "hacking" a Twitter page is the same as hacking a Centcom database.
