ISIS Sympathizers "Hack" U.S. CentCom Social Media Accounts - Claim to have hacked Pentagon

ISIL are savages who've mastered the dark arts of Media the same way we have in the West. They coulda stolen the data and used it for planning attacks. Its all over the news and I truly feel nervous for the future. EXACTLY how they want us to feel! I KNOW this is there INTENT and I still feel nervous.

PROPAGANDA the same way we dump flyers in forein lands. The West says 'we KNOW were you live and we will DRONE attack your leaders!'

Now ISIS say 'we KNOW where you all live and can kill you in YOUR homes too. Fear us! '

We're ALL of usbeing dragged to the brink of darkness and wtf happens next? Who has the BALLS to change direction?

Dark days my friends. Popcorn and beer cos EVERY generation lives through conflict and time moves on. And it don't matter AT ALL who done the 'hacking.' Two sides are drawing lines in the sand and DARING the other to come on over. Situation is a Hot Red over and out!

We are not exactly on Defcon 5 here. Maybe some cool headyness (i know not a real word : ) would help. Lets look at what has transpired so far.

.1 twitter account has been hacked

and

.1 youtube account has been hacked

."Documents" had been posted on these that have shown to have been readily available on the net since 2005.

.Comments have been posted on these accounts using words like "allah" and "infidels" and such including claims that ISIL/ISIS was responsible for the hack.



Now lets look at the actual evidence we have of this being exactly what it is what has been suggested.











That was about it so far i think

Has anybody considered the possible ramifications of these leaks? If I were someone with sensitive information, and I found myself or those I know, hell even those I don't know but who are in the same circumstances as me exposed, maybe I would consider a "reciprocal" name and shame release. Could this be some kind of shake down for information about terrorism? I don't say government, perhaps someone else with an agenda. We all know that there are these assets as they call them being used. There seem to be a lot of angles here.

I guess what I am trying to say is that maybe someone, somewhere, wants ALL the cards on the table.

Well seeing as the spook agencies all have back doors into Twitter and other social media, it's not outside the realms of possibility that this is an inside job, in a bid to create a new threat that must be thwarted by throwing more taxpayer money at it, and at the same time proposing new surveillance against everyone. Think that about sums it up.

Hey, maybe they even had some help with the Islamic / Arabic stuff from their buddies at SITE Intelligence!

More likely, another group likely backed by a foreign power discovered those backdoors through espionage and used them against us. If the US had proper cyber security policies that would not happen. It's probably not an inside job but they certainly used our systems against us.

To compare an IS thug to the IRA is a stretch, but I agree with you.

I doubt many underestimate the people in IS fighting ability having been at it for the last two thousand years but to think these people, if you can call them that, are capable of computer genius is hard to grasp.

Yah , I'm sure they have educated people but I lean more towards an " enemy of my enemy is my friend " or some dirt bag do anything for money type.

One thing you can be sure of is we will never know the truth. Depending on which country your from it could be right in front of you, IMO

Well, if I was on the USA side, I'd do this for a couple of reasons, mostly already stated, but one....to put out a huge fake list of MIL family info, and let the idiot terrorists chase down false leads. Who knows, some maybe are a jack-in-the-box.

This is what ISIS wants, social media info, but it's actually miss-info.


btw- how hard could it be to hack a SM account....really?!

There are apparently secret personnel documents being posted via the Twitter account.

apparently ISIS is BSing a little..

They hacked Twitter and Youtube...not really a big deal, but as far as the secret docs..

However, it also looks like the documents that are being tweeted and posted online were already on Pentagon sites and elsewhere on the internet before the purported hack. Most of the documents in the downloads date back to 2005. The most recent is from 2008.

gizmodo.com...

2005 and 2008 eh?

So how come they include the likes of:

Memo - Resetting the PPBES Process - 12 Jun 14.pdf

Doesn't look so old to me.

I am not going to do your work for you.

If you have the full doc, google for specifics to find it publicly posted..

I did google "PPBES Process" and found a ton of gov links and pdfs on the topic, so not sure how "secret" that must be?

Not talking of secrecy, talking of the report which said nothing was newer than 2008 - that report was simply incorrect.

Personally, I think whomever hacked the pentagon today are the same people who hacked Sony.

Sony was a test run.

And I don't think its North Korea.

Depends where you come from! Just proves that one mans freedom fighter and all that.

Which is precisely why this is such a dangerous situation.

Oh dear, nothing digital is safe!

Watch when they steal all the money!

Enter a new one world currency.

Opening post is being updated with recent tweets from the account.

That is MINDBLOWING, if ANY of it is true.

The Pentagon, must be wetting themselves right now.

What is so hard to believe about it ?

They have been using social media to recruit, an 'win' hearts ,and minds.

They have become master propagandists in the 21st century all the while expousing 7th century beliefs.

Calm down, we're being trolled is all. Somebody, somewhere, alone in a basement, is pretending to be ISIS. Hacking some Twitter and Facebook accounts happens all the time - recall Anonymous taking over the KKK Twitter account recently? The posted info is freely available. Don't feed the troll.

Note sure if it is the same people, but notepad ++ got hacked.


notepad-plus-plus.org...



Addtl: Looks like they are trying to get it cleaned up now. Index page view is what I'm getting instead of islamic propaganda page.


Addtl 2: Looks like it's back up now, or at least part of it is.

Hey Isis , while you are in the pentagon computer, would you mind finding the other 50 camera angles from 9/11 and the name of the service member who walked in and told Cheney the plane was 50 miles away , thanks , oh and stop killing people please , thanks

ISIS sypathizers? Really?
Isis had absolutely nothing to do with any attacks, anywhere on the planet. They are a group created by the American government. No one is afraid of Al Queada anymore, so lets just creat a new scare, 'eh?

I second this!

Ok so with more information having come out now, lets see if I have this right. A bunch of non classified information that was already available was copied, a few personal photos of military personnel were also obtained. These files were distributed on Twitter and Youtube accounts belonging to those files owners.

So basically we had some phones hacked, probably using the same exploits that caused all those celebrity hacks and we had some Twitter/Youtube accounts stolen. That's not breaking into the Pentagon, that's tearing down a poster hung up by the Pentagon. All in all if what I just said is accurate this seems pretty minor.

I'm starting to see where the entire internet will have to be shut down, because all the kids can't play nice in the sandbox.

And since their are so many vital things that are attached to the internet it may happen sooner than we think.

Does anyone else get this feeling also?

There are major, and I mean absolutely major consequences to shutting down the internet. Just the least of which is that it would cost the US billions of dollars per day. Just think for a moment about how much stock trading is done online. Most of the large banks make their money these days using HFT in the stock market. Shutting down the internet would 100% kill that and that's just one sector. Legal research, web development, our entire tech sector, medical research, all things that would be shut down. I just don't see it happening.

Not to mention the massive amount of loss for online businesses and the subsequent chaos.

Am I missing something?


Because you can't have two Twitter names the same...


I typed in @CENTCOM...
It's still there and it has posts from days ago...


So it couldn't have been suspended!



Also every U.S Gov Department on Twitter is Verified...
@CENTCOM is not!



What makes people think this is even an authentic account?




What makes this Egg authentic?




I didn't read the whole thread, so if anyone has info fill me in please.

Anyone have any idea how much truth is in the Twitter reports that this Anon has traced this hack back to Maryland, home of the NSA? Alex Jones too.
