Fort Bragg says its Twitter account was 'hacked'

Fort Bragg garrison officials say their verified Twitter account was hacked after posts weighing in on the issue of female pubic hair and lustful comments about a nude woman’s picture appeared on the social media website.
The XVIII Airborne Corps spokesman, Col. Joe Buccino, said the garrison has “ruled out any malicious intent” by its public affairs officials. He added that they still don’t have much information about how the incident occurred.

I’m betting it was someone who was getting out in a few days.

They went to one of the accounts that showed boobs and was chatting away.

Many units have Twitter & Facebook pages that are run by the PAO’s.

The posts have a page so others who are not assigned to those units have a place for updates.
Picnics, sports stuff , etc
