On July 4, 2011, a series of tweets appeared on the @foxnewpolitics Twitter page announcing that President Obama had been assassinated.
Fox News issued a statement calling the tweets “malicious” and “false,” and said the hacking incident was being investigated.
A representative of the group ‘Scriptkiddies’ claimed responsibility, saying, “Fox News was selected because we figured their security would be just as much of a joke as their reporting.”
