Earlier this afternoon, NBC's twitter account was hacked into by a group called the Script Kiddies. The hackers sent out false reports of attacks on Ground Zero!! The twitter posts claimed that flight 5736 was highjacked and had just crashed at Ground Zero! Can you believe that someone would find humor in such a prank? Especially, two days before the ten year anniversary of the actual attacks... Disgusts me!

This is very disgusting to hear. People who really must get a kick out of scaring and hurting people who have already gone through this ordeal. Do they really get a kick out of such things? Why would they do such a thing? What a mean thing to do for so many reasons. These Script Kiddies are sure some weird people.

Hackers love attention and drama and that is why they like to create fake events, news, images, stories et cetera. They're smart but in the end stupid.

That is crazy. I do not know what in the world is wrong with people these days. It makes me sick too!
