Hacking Frenzy

These cybercriminals are silent but so deadly. What makes it even worse is that they can make themselves almost untraceable and we are left somewhat at their mercy because they know our technology better than we do. So according to CNN, the word on the stweet is that a hacking group called the 'Script Kiddies' claimed responsibility for hacking Fox News' twitter account and announcing that President Obama had been assassinated while campaigning in Iowa on  early Monday. The tweets then went on to say:

"We wish @joebiden the best of luck as our new President of the United States. In such a time of madness, there's light at the end of tunnel." 

Its not surprising since they know the inner workings, the flaws and the strong suits, they also know typical consumer behavior, which is a deadly combo. After the hacking frenzy seemed to stop Fox news posted a short tweet saying. 

"Just regained full access to our Twitter and email. Happy 4th."

Things are going to get even worse as our lives become more technology oriented then we can hypothesize what comes next: our bank accounts? Anyone looking for a career or a career change? I'm sure cyber security is big business right now.
