US Centcom social media accounts hacked by Islamic State

A group declaring sympathy for the Islamic State jihadist group hacked US Central Command’s Twitter account and YouTube page Monday, posting internal military documents online.

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.
