Israel Defense Force Deletes "Nuclear Leak" Tweet; Blames Cyber Terrorism
How to start World War 3? Step 1) Hack IDF Twitter account; Step 2) Tweet that Israel's secret nuclear facility has suffered a potential leak after shelling; Step 3) wait for US response... It appears (though for now has not been confirmed) that the Israel Defense Force's Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army who then tweeted "#WARNING: Possible nuclear leak in the region after 2 rockets hit Dimona nuclear facility" The Tweet was deleted soon after - not before all major newswires picked it up - and the report has been denied by the IDF. We can only imagine the market response to this tweet if US traders were not all out buying beers and burgers..
The original Tweet from @IDFSpokesperson
The Tweet was deleted minutes later after this image (of the Syrian Electronic Army) was tweeted...
and this...
But The IDF was quick to note it was not correct...
Israeli army is investigating how posting appeared on its official Twitter account saying there was risk of nuclear leak after rocket hit Dimona facility, military spokesman says on condition of anonymity in accordance with regulation.
Tweet was later deleted; army spokesman declines to comment on possibility the official account was hacked
* * *
And then The IDF issues this statement:
We apologize for the incorrect tweets Our twitter account was compromised. We will combat terror on all fronts including the cyber dimension

Finally, this is how the SEA responded minutes ago:
The whole "Israeli army" propaganda was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army #SEA #Syria #Palestne pic.twitter.com/Z1i5uuOzLp

Sounds like they just figured out Lagardes not a woman and Yahoos head exploded. I can dream...

What US response?
This US response:
We ah, it has um come to our attention via the ah um robust incisiveness and professionalism of the ah intelligence agencies that ah there is um not really anything to ah ah to worry about n ah we're confident that this can be contained by uh the Israelis in a timely and uh professional (cough) manner so as uh not to uh cause any repercussions as uh there has been no uh mm mmmm (clears throat) um damage of considerable nature. We recommend that all remain calm and sort this out in a non divisive considered civil unmannerly ....
Can't even safeguard a fucking Twitter acct, but they're responsible enough to have nukes?
Fukushima has had three reactors melted down and leaking for over two years now and the market couldn't care less.
Speaking of Fukushima, I recall it was an Israeli company providing security at the time of the accident.

Just another cohencidence, I'm sure.
Meanwhile, I've been hearing even more holocaust-related and anti-semite 'expose' news pieces on the BBC than usual. This often precedes egregious behaviour by Israel, I've noticed.
Thanks for the reminder about the holocaust. I missed my weekly Hitler WWII documentary. Who did we say controls the media again?
always seem to be about three hasbara throols downvoting here.
Lagarde is a sexless homunculus crafted in a laboratory from a mandrake root and george hamilton's soiled speedo.
As for this swerve, it is the second best Israeli twitter gaff with Bibi following persian pornography being the runaway winner.

Another fucking keyboard, I have got to learn to not to drink and read your posts at the same time.
Dirtlump that is comedic gold....Hamilton's soiled speedo...fuck me that's funny.
Anyway fuck you dirtlump for not posting warning......your a keyboard hoser eh!
Thanks and sorry. I'm lucky that in addition to a pair of eyes to see I have a warped sense about me. Right now life is like that party the night before you go into a war where there's even odds you'll die. We're not stopping it. We can prepare the best we can, have a few cheap laughs then when the shit hits the fan try to keep the wheels on and make it over the bridge.
The NSA person monitoring this did a double tap when I was posting and now this whole the same cat walked by twice in the matrix thing just happened. Double post. Wet leather and a silver wig looks like shit. HAppy Calgary Stampede and blessed July 4th.
Does the NSA still screen the internet for sentences like "Bomb the white house"
Oyveyshima!
Things are getting hot, real hot.
Apartheid in Gaza.
more like genocide
Beer and hot dogs, damn beef is too expensive.
Rents too damn high....or ...ummm...get real high and fuck for rent?
I forget.

You can still get a smoked baloney sandwich at the state fair for a $1.50 though.
only if Lindsey Graham is there...
I can get my baloney smoked for a buck fiddy...what state fair is that?
Lindsey Graham.....wait..what......I though it was Lindsey Lohan.....nevermind
Hotdogs?! You know what they make those things out of? Lips and assholes!
Should suit the boys from Wall Street perfectly. A taste they are well accustomed to.
Smashed assholes. Great. Never eat another one thanks for ruining it. Smashed assholes.....
Plenty of both over there. Must be Kosher by definition, I guess.
ebworthen, -- ya don't say!
I guess the people responsible for the Fukushima reactors are the same people who built the Israeli nuclear reactor. What comes around goes around, as they say.
Israel never invested into a public radiation monitoring system so they'd never even know. They have weapons coming out their nose...but no Disaster Recovery planning other than bunker tactics.
This could get interesting. I expected fireworks for the holiday.
I'll say thanks if they fight a nuclear war on tweeter.
Aren't these the uber-uber-uber spys?
Is the Syrian Electronic Army the same as the Electronic Army of Syria?
I forgot which, but one of 'ems got a hell of a good marching Kazoo Band
Companies, gov agencies, et cetera, having Twitter accounts is the stupidest thing ever. One person, probably an intern, writes as the face of the organization.
At least have a built-in delay requiring confirmation from two officials (a là the two-key nuclear launch sequence, where one key is farther away than one human can reach).
The fact that the powers that be all have facebook and twitter accounts make me think both of those companies are data mining ventures funded by Pancho Villa. Long Live La Raza!
I want a federal job at $100k/yr with pension and health care for life confirming tweets.
Better have picked your daddy correctly, else you'll have to be somebody's bitch to get one of those "jobs."
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
"The End Of The World As We Know It" starring Karma.
Yessir - exciting.
Just as the whole world seems to be a fake Ponzi, it will be a fake tweet like this or something else that moves quickly and results in an overreaction. Twitter will send things to the shitter. Jimmy Carter was almost pushed into nuclear launch from a faulty light at NORAD.
#AskIDF anyone?
Don't mention the shtetl's deterrent
eh, you know, if one of Hamas' rockets did hit Dimona or one of their other sites...
probably bounce off - those things are useless, which makes the inenviable reply-killing of like 10 people especially senseless.
Alas, Jewish and Christian Zioturds keep us married to that clusterfuck... absolutely senseless.
SEA emblem is totally badass though
Off topic but still contained within the general parameters of the cesspool. . . John Kerry abruptly pulls up to the side of the road and jumps into a ditch to take a leak ( piss ) 100 metres from a knackers yard. Almost instantaneously a farmer vaults over a fence and blasts him in the head with a shotgun. On being quizzed by ' our friends ' in blue they ask him why he did it. His response was that he appeared very distressed and he felt obliged to put him out of his misery. Do you know who and what he was they injected volunteering this information. Fuck off the farmer responded I know Obama is a sick twisted cunt but why would he employ a horse as secretary of state.
Does anyone actually believe anything on Twitter?
Israel will be known as a terrible mistake when it's all over. They be the most racis' assholes on the planet, but thank the Lord they have dual citizenship so they can nag us into the next century.
It would truly be moronic if a war were started over an incomplete sentence. Twitter's character limit eviscerates the English language. It's an idiot's delight.
#WWIII
OK, I'll bite. How does an HFT algo go out for beers and burgers?
The same way they go out for coke and hookers, along the silk-road using bitcoins.
99% of the world's problems would end with one big, well-placed 'Yerushima'.
If "It is better to sacrifice one life to save a nation", then... "It is better to sacrifice... to save the world" is inescapable Vulcan logic.
What is it about "Chosen People" that you don't understand? All Jews must return to the homeland of Israel to fulfill the phrophesy of the new testament .. . . . . . . . . is one interpretation.
Dont bet on it.
IDF/Mossad. Will cut your propaganda like a hotknife thru butter.
See you later tonight.
The Internet has destroyed the job of 'reporter'. There are few gumshoes left across the globe to actually interview people, verify facts, or build relationships to gain privileged information. Now what passes for 'news' are White House memos, Tweets, and other statements the government wants you to hear.
I would argue the Internet has saved what little can be saved of reporting while governments, threats, bribes & greed have lead to the near-death of reporting.
Israel Benefits as World Loses
Ahem . . . . . . . . . Chosen People.
what kind of a country bombs a neighboring population
when three homicides go unresolved?
Wargasm
When they figure it out, and they will. You will not survive the wagons circling you.
So, technically...and by extension...the NSA just got pwnd by a few Syrian doodz in a blown up building using a Speak-N-Spell hooked up to an analog POTS line.
I feel a little better.
Etch-a-sketch with an acoustic coupler.
Maybe we're putting a little too much importance on "tweets"-like the survival of mankind?
Give tweets back to the birds!
