Hackers placed on Twitter Newsweek threats to the Obama family
Hackers hacked the microblog of Newsweek magazine, which signed more than 2.5 million people. They replaced the avatar and a background image of the profile, placing the head of a person in a Muslim scarf on them, as well as the inscriptions “Cybercaliphate” (“Cyberhalifate”) and “Je Suis is” (formed from the slogan “Je Suis Charlie” and the abbreviation ISIS).
In the microblog, the hackers wished Michelle Obama, the Bloody Valentine's Bloody Day, having attributed that they were following her, her daughters and US President Barack Obama.
In addition, on Twitter, documents related to the activities of the DCITA cyber Pillaries Academy, cooperating with the Ministry of Defense and other US law enforcement agencies, were published.
A few minutes after hacking, the tweets published by hackers were removed.
Brian Rice, who, according to him, previously managed the Newsweek account on Twitter, said that in 2013 the FBI warned the publication about the desire of the Syrian hackers to hack a microblog.
