The twitter account for Fox News @foxnewspolitics was hacked overnight reported that President Obama was assassinated.
The level of hacker activity with and against companies and individuals in this country has entered a new chapter, where there are no boundaries as to what will be done.
With over 36, 000 followers and growing the content should be removed from the account, whoever controls this account should delete the tweets from their stream, unless they have lost control of the account which is against the first tweet from last light where they claimed they had regained control.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out, as the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service will most likely be involved and as they have already been involved with other hacks that have taken place.
Here’s the stream of tweets that as of 7:49AM PST are still live on the twitter account:
