Well it looks like Barack Obama may soon be rethinking his recent Twitter excursions after Fox News' Twitter feed was hacked by a group referring to itself as "The Script Kiddies" and tweets claiming the President was dead and wishing Joe Biden the best of luck started finding their way onto the feed. That's bad enough, but Fox didn't remove the articles for nearly eight hours after they were posted, leading some people to believe them to be genuine. To Fox's credit, they did contact the Secret Service, and the posts were eventually removed, but @FoxNewsPolitics has around 33,000 Followers, so the story spread rapidly across the internet. From the looks of things, "The Script Kiddies" also made taunting posts as well, which were removed quickly, refering unsurprisingly to both Anonymous, as well as #antisec. See an interview with someone claiming to speak for "The Script Kiddies" in the following link.
