Twitter Feed Hacked

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Thursday posted details about a hack that he tried to make tweets in this Twitter feed appear in chronological order instead of being ascertained based on the company's algorithm. Users were surprised that the Twitter CEO preferred using a third-party hack instead of introducing a change on the platform.

The London police force's official Twitter feed, which has 1.2 million followers, normally pushes out updates on arrests or appeals for information. In the event of a terrorist attack, the police use the social media platform as a way to update the public on the latest developments.

The Twitter account of the leader of Britain's main opposition party appeared to have been hacked Sunday, judging by bizarre tweets including one calling Prime Minister David Cameron a "pie".

The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) also managed to tweet in support of Palestine and against the bombing of Syria.

Hussain, believed to be the leader of the CyberCaliphate, had once been jailed for hacking the address book of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.

If so-called "cyber jihadists" want to launch another social media attack on America's military, they will have plenty of targets: the US Army alone lists more than 2,000 links to feeds on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other accounts.

The "CyberCaliphate" hacking group that attacked a Twitter account belonging to the Pentagon on Monday was founded by a Briton who was once jailed for hacking the personal address book of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, according to government sources and private sector security experts.

The Twitter and YouTube accounts for the US military command that oversees operations in the Middle East were hacked on Monday.

The US Central Command Twitter feed appeared to have been hacked today by people claiming to be Islamic State sympathizers.

The disruption started Christmas Day, PlayStation and Xbox said on their Twitter feeds, adding that they were working to restore service.

British broadcaster ITV on Friday became the latest media outlet to have one of its Twitter feeds hacked by anonymous supporters of Syria's President.

A clutch of Twitter accounts and a blog maintained by the Financial Times were hacked Friday, the latest in a series of cyberattacks claimed by the Syrian Electronic Army, a pro-government group which has regularly targeted media organizations it sees as sympathetic to the country's rebels.

The Guardian recognized it was being targeted when suspect emails were sent to staff members to trick them into giving away security details.

The BBC Weather Twitter feed began posting unusual messages in the early afternoon, ranging from offensive to humorous and often making reference to Syria and Middle Eastern politics.

A Twitter feed that claimed to be affiliated with the "Anonymous" hacker group said it was behind the outage, but that couldn't be confirmed.
