Ukraines deputy national sec chief blames hacker for message supporting Islamic terror
[Daily Caller] Dont you hate it when your Facebook gets hacked and your account posts a message supporting a notorious Islamic terrorist and his attacks against the country thats occupying your nation?
Thats what supposedly happened to the Deputy Chief of Ukraines National Security Council when a message bearing his signature appeared on the far right group he leads VKontakte page, the Eastern European version of Facebook.
The message was directed at Doku Umarov, a Chechen Islamic militant who heavily promoted using terrorism against the Winter Olympics in Sochi, and called for him to intensify his fight against Russia while it is intervening in Ukraine. The message also claimed that many Ukrainians had supported the insurgency in Chechnya and urged Umarov to support Ukraine now.
If accurate, this could be the first exploitation of a so-called 'social media' venue for the purpose of Computer Network Operations and psychological warfare.
