The New York Post and United Press International Twitter accounts were hacked and were sending out bogus and somewhat frightening messages today.
The New York Post Twitter account reported that a Chinese ship was firing missiles at a U.S. Navy ship, saying “#BREAKING: Chinese anti-ship missile fired at USS George Washington.”
The UPI hack said: “Pope: ‘World War III has begun.’”
While some were tricked, we were not..
Hacked? RT @nypost: Federal Reserve head Yellen announces bail-in in emergency meeting, rumored negative rate to be set at 4pm EST today.
