The DOW Jones (stock market indicator) plunged 160 points after a bogus tweet sent out from the compromised Associated Press Twitter account announced 2 explosions that inured President Obama at the White House today. The bogus tweet read: “Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured.”
Immediately after the bogus tweet went out, the White House and the AP quickly assured the public that the tweets were false. But shock waves from the non-event were felt on Wall Street as the DOW plunged 100 points but quickly recovered.
An editor with the AP tweeted, “Please ignore AP tweet on explosions, we’ve been hacked.” And White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told the media: “The President is fine, I was just with him.”
A group called the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for the hacking.
The incident is the latest high profile social media account to be hacked. Twitter.com support advises uses to be diligent and cautious while using the service. Avoid clicking “phishing” links that masquerade as legitimate websites such as a Twitter login page.

I saw Olympus this weekend and after seeing that movie, that tweet was not funny
Bay Bay – Did you ever read Maya Angelous Mom and Me and Mom?
I sure did.
I have OTB16 reading it now. Slow self. :eyeroll: There were a couple of crosses with The Caged Bird but I still felt it was a great read for me. I feel a way about women and mothers and daughters and relationships so you know I was all in.
When I saw someone retweet that tweet on Twitter, I immediately feared for the safety of the First daughters. I was so relieved that it was bogus

I’d assume a real reporter tweeting in official capacity would use his title and not just call him Barack Obama like he’s just some ole random lay person.

No. It was originally “plunging”. I don’t know where you got “plummeting” from.

The AP is a not for profit. Owned by 1500 newspapers…supposedly.
I kinda DO believe it is being ahhh oversaw by the Rothschild folks tho. Yep I am a conspiracy theorist too
MissTaken… it’s yellow… Asian Jesus!
@ Man uh huh
I wonder why the AP was being targeted by peeps in Syria?
The Rothchilds are British. They don’t own the AP.

The AP has several Stakeholders. Just because a person is British doesn’t mean they don’t own stake in American companies.
MissTaken…. Lol I have a homeboy who said he likes it and hates when it comes on in the car
It’s tragic. The drugs seem to have destroyed not only his life but, his head. He higher than a kite and he swear he don’t need his FAMILY! After he said such great things about what he had with Tashera. He blamed everyone for everything.
I’m watching DMX fix my life…this is hard to watch. It’s painfully yall….I hate to see folk struggle with drugs but, at the sake time I hate it more when they lose the battle
