A hacker group calling themselves Scriptkiddies has broken into one of Fox News’ Twitter accounts and used it to disseminate fake news about the assassination of U.S President Barack Obama.
According to Mashable, the group gained control of @foxnewspolitics, bragging about it on several Twitter accounts (now suspended).
They didn’t stop there, though; after tweeting a suspicious message on the Fox News Politics account claiming the company had regained the control over that account, they started tweeting messages about a shooting in which President Obama was fatally wounded.
“BREAKING NEWS: President @BarackObama assassinated, 2 gunshot wounds have proved too much. It’s a sad 4th for #america. #obamadead RIP,” said one of the tweets.
