The Twitter feed for US Central Command appears to have been hacked by a group aligning itself with Isis (Islamic State). The hackers said in a tweet, 'American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back. Isis.'
This picture replaced the Twitter profile picture of US Central Command on Twitter, @CENTCOM.
The self-declared Cybercaliphate "is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base," the hackers wrote on the seized Twitter feed for Centcom, which oversees the US-led air war against the group in Iraq and Syria.
The Twitter feed's profile picture was briefly changed to
one with a black and white picture of a jihadist and the words "I love
you Isis".
A series of subsequent tweets appeared to include personnel files, including addresses for some generals, and internal military documents.
The Twitter account was disabled about 45 minutes after the initial hacked post was made.
The Daily Beast reported it had called Central Command for comment, but was told it could not respond because "we are all working on it".
