USA Today Twitter Account Hacked By "The Script Kiddies 

twitter_newbird_boxed_blueonwhiteA group calling itself "The Script Kiddies" hacked USA Today's Twitter account this weekend and used it to solicit requests for future targets and even to promote its own Facebook page. Although this recent hack seems like more of a childish prank, this group is being taken seriously by the FBI due to its earlier hacksinvolving false terrorism claims posted to NBC's Twitter account.Just days before this year's anniversary of 9/11, The Script Kiddies posted news that Ground Zero was attacked to @nbcnews, demonstrating a callousness for human tragedythat was seriously disturbing.Now the group is back in action, taunting Twitter, stroking their egos and asking for your support on Facebook.
