The Twitter account for U.S. Central Command was hacked Monday while President Barack Obama was delivering an address about cybersecurity at the Federal Trade Commission. 
 
 The hack, by an individual or group claiming to be aligned with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (also known by the acronym ISIS), took place shortly before 12:30 p.m. Monday. The first tweet following the hack read, "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS," and linked to a longer statement threatening American soldiers and their families. The hackers also targeted Centcom's YouTube page, posting ISIL propaganda videos. 
 
 Central Command is the Department of Defense command overseeing the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, including Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. 
 
 The statement read, in part, "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the CyberCaliphate under the auspices of ISIS continues its CyberJihad. While the US and its satellites kill our brothers in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan we broke into your networks and personal devices and know everything about you." 
 
 "You'll see no mercy infidels. ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now," it read. "We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children. U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!" 
 
 The hack came as Obama was telling the FTC that he was "focusing on how to better protect American consumers from identity theft." 
 
 "If we're going to be connected, then we need to be protected," Obama said during his address. 
 
 UPDATE (1:15 p.m.): Twitter has suspended the Centcom Twitter account. 
 
 UPDATE (2:57 p.m.): A Twitter spokesperson emails: ||||| The Twitter account and YouTube channel for U.S. Central Command were hacked Monday by someone purporting to be aligned with ISIS. Both accounts were covered in pro-ISIS propaganda, including messages warning American soldiers to “watch their back” and ISIS recruitment videos. 
 
 Nancy A. Youssef reports while there were claims in the tweets that ISIS had access to personal information, the pictures attached, which included phone directories, are available on Pentagon websites. It took about an hour for Twitter to suspend the compromised @CENTCOM account. 
 
 Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, called the hacking a "cyber prank" that didn't compromise secure websites. The Pentagon has been in contact with Twitter and YouTube and is analyzing what was posted, Warren said.

 Reports that the account had been hacked spread quickly at the Pentagon, where, within minutes, military personnel were huddled around computers watching the tweets coming in, each time with increased horror and fury.
– The US Central Command's Twitter page was ominously hacked today by a group claiming to be allied with ISIS—a particularly bold move, notes Politico, because President Obama was delivering a speech on cybersecurity at the FTC. US officials are confirming the hack and @CentCom is currently suspended; the Daily Beast describes calling a "frenzied" CentCom, and being told only that "we are all working on it." The hacked account posted personal details of military personnel and warnings such as this: "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." CentCom's YouTube channel was also hacked, notes the Washington Post. A longer statement read thusly: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the CyberCaliphate under the auspices of ISIS continues its CyberJihad. While the US and its satellites kill our brothers in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan we broke into your networks and personal devices and know everything about you."
