A group calling itself “Gasper CyberCaliphate Sadz” hacked the Military Spouses of Strength Twitter account on Tuesday morning, Military.com reports. The group replaced the account’s profile and sent threatening messages to the spouses using their full names.
The Twitter account was shut down following the twisted hack and was still suspended on Wednesday.
Military Spouses of Strength was set up in 2013 with the goal of improving mental health awareness in the U.S. military community.
The attack is the latest in a spate of hacks by apparent cyber jihadists. Newsweek’s Twitter account was hacked Tuesday morning by a group also describing itself as “CyberCaliphate.” The hackers briefly changed the @Newsweek profile picture and banner to an image of a masked man and the black standard that is the symbol of the terror organization ISIS. The profile also bore the message “Je suIS IS."
