US military's Twitter, YouTube accounts hacked, linked to ISIS

The US central command's Twitter feed and YouTube account were taken over by hackers claiming to work on behalf of Islamic State militants on Monday. With threats warning that the militants are coming and also tweeting what appear to be documents with names and phone numbers of top generals and other troops. They also posted militant videos on YouTube. The Pentagon is downplaying the attacks, calling them an annoying cyberprank. The military eventually suspended the Twitter account and terminated the YouTube page.
