The Twitter account for the U.S. Central Command has apparently been hacked by supporters of the terror group ISIS.
According to ABC News, the account, which focuses on the area of the military who are responsible for the countries of Iraq and Syria, was hacked by a group claiming to be CyberCaliphate and they had replaced the original header with the words ‘I love you ISIS.” They had control of the account for almost an hour and it has since been suspended.
The group also took control of the command’s YouTube account, replacing images of airstrikes against ISIS with video that appeared to be pro-ISIS.
Reuters reported that one of the tweets that appeared said, “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, CyberCaliphate continues its CyberJihad.”
There were also listings of personal addresses for different generals in the military.
NBC News reported that officials for the government said that the accounts were not officially classified and that the names of personnel that were released were for “official use only.”
Also, according to NBC News, an official for the Department of Defense said that while the hackings were “clearly embarrassing” there was no threat in regards to security.
