A couple of days ago there was an issue with members of ISIS hacking a military Twitter page and posting a threat against American soliders. They tweeted, "AMERICAN SOLIDERS, WE ARE COMING WATCH YOUR BACK." This is a really big deal to us considering that most people are thinking that ISIS is coming here, or already is here. The hack occurred at the same time as President Obama's speech on cyber-security, which is quite ironic. The White House is still taking action against the hackers so it's still unknown as to which people hacked into the Twitter page and where might they hacked into from. Thankfully, no classified information was leaked out so that made the White House feel a bit more secure about the situation. But, not only did they tweet threats against Americans, they changed the photo to a masked jihadi with the quote, "I love you ISIS". 40 minutes later the tweets were taken down; the YouTube and Twitter accounts were taken down and are no longer used.

Do we really know if any classified information was leaked? Or is the government just saying that to not get us worried?
