Islamists hack U.S. Central Command By Charles Hoskinson | January 12, 2015 | 2:23 pm


The Twitter feed and YouTube accounts of U.S. Central Command — which controls all U.S. troops in the Middle East and south Asia — were hijacked Monday by hackers claiming to be from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The attack came as President Obama was at the Federal Trade Commission, announcing that he would push Congress for new legislation to bolster cybersecurity.

"We can confirm that the CENTCOM Twitter and YouTube accounts were compromised earlier today," the command said in a statement. "We are taking appropriate measures to address the matter. We have no further information to provide at this time."

On Twitter, the hackers posted a message: "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS," and then posted rosters of what appeared to be a list of home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of retired U.S. Army generals, with slides of intelligence collection priorities in China and possible war scenarios on the Korean peninsula.

Hackers also posted pro-jihadi videos on the command's YouTube account.

Both accounts were deactivated within hours of being compromised.

The command's website appeared normal, minus the hacked Twitter feed.

On Sunday, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey told Fox News' Chris Wallace that he was concerned about U.S. cyber vulnerabilities, which persist despite a years-long effort to curb them.

“We don't have an advantage,” Dempsey said. “It's a level playing field. And that makes this chairman very uncomfortable.”
