GWEN IFILL: The U.S. Central Command’s social media Web sites were hacked today. The hackers called themselves a cyber-caliphate and said they acted on behalf of Islamic State militants.


Threats posted on CENTCOM’s Twitter feed included a warning that said — quote — “American soldiers, we are coming. Watch your back.”


Other postings showed soldiers at work and even listed names and phone numbers of military personnel. And there were scenarios for conflict with North Korea and China, but it appeared that none of the material is classified.


Brian Fung of The Washington Post has followed the story all day.
