Early on Monday afternoon, the Twitter account of the US military’s Central Command was apparently hacked by Islamic State sympathisers. The hackers also released sensitive information about military scenarios involving China and North Korea, as well as posting addresses and telephone numbers for high-ranking US military officials.

• The area covers the central area of the globe and consists of 20 countries: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.

• Central Command was established January 1, 1983 under the administration of President Ronald Reagan.

Have not seen this, but it seems a bit daft. Still, if anyone were to plan a war in 140 characters or less, I'd not put it past the Pentagon. Especially if these are Bush-era plans.
