Fox News Twitter Hacked
Fox News' Twitter account was hacked yesterday, revealing that Barack Obama had been assassinated. The pranksters wrote:
"@BarackObama has just passed. The President is dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed. President Barack Obama is dead,"
With our latest news increasingly coming from Twitter this has sparked a debate about accountability and anonymity on the social networking site. What do you think? A harmless, light-hearted prank or something more sinister?
