Hackers seize NBC's Twitter, claim false attack

None

Hackers on Friday briefly took control of the Twitter micro-messaging feed of US television giant NBC News and falsely reported a terrorist attack in New York ahead of the 9/11 anniversary.

 

"This is not a joke, Ground Zero has just been attacked. We're attempting to get reporters on the scene. #groundzeroattacked," read the first false message sent from the @nbcnews account. (AFP)
