After the hacking debacle at Sony, how bad can it get? Well, here’s the latest hacking news. This time it’s the U.S. military Central Command websites hacked by ISIS. A Centcom spokesman confirmed their computer accounts were compromised by ISIS.
“CENTCOM’s operation military networks were not compromised and there was no operational impact to U.S. Central Command,” a military statement said. “CENTCOM will be re-evaluating our social media programs. We have launched a 4 5 6 7 many pronged attack on this cybervandalism.
1. Within 30 days, all personnel will be required to update their Microsoft Security Essentials and change their passwords.
2. The IT staff will “unfriend” all ISIS related Facebook friends, and then stand-down on any further Facebook activity. In addition, the Dept. of Justice will arrest Mark Zuckerberg for questioning on Facebook security policy and failures (as soon as he wraps up several secret projects for the CIA and Homeland Security).
3. CENTCOM recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong social media presence, and is aware of the “gap” that step 1 creates. This gap will be filled by opening accounts on MySpace and Friendster.
4. CENTCOM will henceforth use DailyMotion and Vimeo for media presentation.
5. In place of Twitter, CENTCOM will deploy AOL Chat accounts.
6. CENTCOM has enabled “TURBO MODE” on all web security hardware and software.”
7. The FBI will join the fight against this cyber-terror, as soon as they can get their servers up and running. (The FBI computer network was infected with a “worm” while investigating the Sony hack).
8. Oracle, Cisco, and IBM have voluntarily agreed to end advanced computer hardware system shipments to ISIS data centers.
9. All known terrorists in computer science programs will be expelled from U.S. universities.
The military has expanded training programs to counter social media terrorists.
