Fox News has now joined the list of victims of hacking as a group of hackers called “Scriptkiddies” broke into one of its Twitter accounts and spread fake news about the assassination of president Barack Obama.
The hacker group gained access to and started tweeting the fake information to 33,000 followers at about 2 am local time, IBNLive reported.
The false tweets of Obama’s murder, coupled with specific details about his injuries, appeared to begin after the notorious hacker group sent a message telling Fox had just “regained full access to our Twitter account”.
