I have nothing but the utmost contempt for this smart-ass hacker! There’s nothing funny about planting a false report on the death of our president on a Fox News Twitter account.
HACKER ON FOX NEWS TWITTER REPORTS OBAMA’S DEATH
The Straits Times
July 4, 2011
NEW YORK - HACKERS broke into Fox's political Twitter account early on Monday, posting updates saying President Barack Obama had been assassinated.
A series of six tweets coming from the FoxNewsPolitics account reported that Obama had been shot to death in Iowa and the shooter was unknown.
In a statement posted on its website later Monday morning, Fox News called the tweets 'malicious' and 'false.' It said the hacking is being investigated.
Obama plans to spend the July Fourth US Independence Day holiday at a barbecue at the White House with military families and administration staffers.
Secret Service spokesman George Olgilvie says the agency wouldn't comment on the tweets.
Fox's political Twitter account has more than 34,000 followers. -- AP
