The Twitter account for U.S. Central Command has been hacked, and is carrying messages promoting the Islamic State -- including one that says, "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS."
Another page shows what appears to be an image from a computer web cam in a military facility. An accompanying tweet says, "ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base."
Central Command officials say they are "aware" of the issue and are "addressing" it.
"This is bad," one Central Command source told Fox News.
The Twitter account now carries an image identifying the page as "CyberCaliphate," with a message that says, "I love you ISIS."
The page has started posting screen shots of information about military commanders, including phone numbers and email addresses.
The same image at the top of the hacked Twitter page has also been emblazoned atop Central Command's YouTube page.
Fox News' Jennifer Griffin contributed to this report.

Not a huge surprise. It's only a matter of time. Either take care of the problem or the problem will take care of you. Calling them barbarians and scoffing at their naughtyness just pushes the can down the road and enables it. I'd be interested to see who's family names and addresses were posted on line. You have to assume they have all that information already. I still say...BRING IT.

CPT Zachary Brooks How are you getting thumbs ups for commenting but I'm getting zilch? I feel like my theft of other people's work for my own gain has been stolen for someone else's gain.

Capt Richard I P.
CPT Zachary Brooks Are you implying my detailed consideration of the security situation, likelihood of genuine network penetration, plausibility of substantial negative outcomes, comparison of this body of analysis to relevant media, research and retrieval of said media, proper attribution and linking to source of said media with humorous albeit thought-inspiring labeling took less thought than your three sentences?! Sentences that essentially said "I agree (with the message resulting from all that work Capt Porter did) ...discrete new piece of information totaling six words....let's see what happens?"
