Sep 26, 2011

Although this recent hack seems like more of a childish prank, this group is being taken seriously by the FBI due to its earlier hacks involving false terrorism claims posted to NBC's Twitter account. USA Today quickly regained control of the compromised feed. " @usatoday was hacked and as a result false tweets were sent. We worked with Twitter to correct it. The account is now back in our control ," it said. " We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion caused to our readers and thank you for reading @usatoday ." It's possible that the new USA Today hack involved a spyware Trojan horse, like the earlier NBC hack did.
