Newslink: Hacked New York Times Twitter account warns of imminent Russian missile attack

in #newslink • 8 years ago

The New York Times Video Twitter account appears to have been hacked — possibly twice — Sunday morning.
The @NYTvideo account tweeted “BREAKING: leaked statement from Vladimir Putin says: Russia will attack the United States with Missiles”.
The post was taken down by 10 a.m., but was soon replaced with statements from the hacker group OurMine claiming to have co-opted the Twitter account to say that the Putin message was posted by a different hacker.
