Fox News Twitter Account Sends Posts Claiming Obama Assassination
Fox News is claiming that their @foxnewspolitics Twitter account was hacked last night, when someone posted a series of tweets claiming that the President had been assassinated.
These messages were only deleted within the past hour — Fox News left them online all night long and most of the morning.
Apparently the hackers who did this call themselves “Script Kiddies:” The Group That Hacked A Fox News Twitter Account.
Using the foxnewspolitics account, they also bragged about their hacking skillz before posting the fake assassination tweets, and changed the Fox News background image: Fox News Politics Twitter Account Hacked, Disturbing Tweets Appear.
(The @scriptkiddi3s Twitter account is now suspended.)
