The US Army said the official Twitter account of its Fort Bragg base had been hacked, after the account posted several lewd messages
"This afternoon the Fort Bragg Twitter account was hacked and a string of inappropriate tweets were posted to the account," one of the Army units housed at Fort Bragg tweeted. Fort Bragg, North Carolina, is one of the Army's largest bases, housing more than 50,000 military personnel."When made aware, the Fort Bragg social media team deleted the tweets & temporarily moved the account offline," the tweet continued."The matter is under investigation.
According to an investigative report last week by New York regulators, the hackers who took over several high-profile Twitter accounts in July -- including those of Joe Biden, Elon Musk and Apple -- had gained entry into Twitter's internal systems simply by posing as company IT officials making a support call.
