WNU Editor: Posting names, addresses, and phone numbers of 4-star generals. War game scenarios posted. Maps that show suspected locations of North Korean nuclear sites. One has to wonder what else do they have .... that is why I am not surprised to be reading reports that the White House is "freaking out"

Freaking out, really!?!?
The hack attack took away President Obama's major announcement yesterday on cyber security and future web regulations. His message got drowned out .... that is why the White House is upset.
I'm very curious...
What... Da... Fuck... Was all that confidential material doing on, err, ... Twitter?
So am I missing something here? How does the CC Twitter contain apparently so much confidential material, and for what purpose is it out there, on... err... Twitter!?!?
I agree D. Plowman. How can you have personal confidential information (phone numbers and addresses of 4-star generals) and top secret maps on a Twitter account? Something is not right.
" Something is not right"
Bingo guys!
