Interanational News Media such as AJE, have just reported that US Central command twitter accounts have been hacked by ISIL hackers giving US war against the so called terrorists a new technological dimension implying that, US arrogance of superior technology is now no more than barking of teeth-less dogs.
The trend is the same as that of downing US drones by IRANIAN technology of IT and Warfare.
Twitter avatar used by centCOM was replaced with an image of a masked militant and the legends ‘CyberCaliphate' and ‘I love Isis'
In an act of cyber vandalism that appeared more embarrassing than destructive, the Twitter and YouTube accounts for US military forces in the Middle East and South Asia were hacked by supporters of Islamic State militants on Monday.
centCOM, the account used by the US Central Command, tweeted out messages threatening attacks on US military personnel and expressing sympathy for Isis. Nearly simultaneously, Central Command's YouTube channel hosted two pro-Isis videos. Its Facebook account appeared unaffected.
