> **[US military's Twitter account hacked](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-30785232)** > > US Central Command's Twitter and YouTube accounts are suspended after being hacked by a group claiming to be supporters of Islamic State. Haven’t seen how verifiable the info is. Nothing classified really was leaked. Twitter and YouTube were both taken down. ---

We should pull the plug on their internet. I am sure the US is more than capable of taking their service offline. ---
