Hackers Take Over Associated Press, Report Fake Bombing At White House (PHOTOS)
Ya’ll Tried It! Hackers Take Over Associated Press, Report Fake Bombing At White House (PHOTOS)
Ya’ll done messed up now!
The “internets” gave everyone a heart attack this afternoon when an Associated Press tweet reported a bombing at the White House that left President Barack Obama injured.
Turns out, AP was hacked, though it’s not clear who exactly was behind the f*cked up and tasteless tweet.
As soon as the news hit the web, this also happened.
Dow Jones lost over 100 points in the one minute the tweet was up.
DAMN!
The White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, immediately responded, confirming that the president was okay.
In any case, we’re glad the stunt was just that…a stunt.
Because seriously, our hearts and stomachs dropped down into our butts when we saw that tweet. Yes. It’s possible.
