Fort Bragg says its Twitter account was 'hacked'

Fort Bragg garrison officials say their verified Twitter account was hacked after posts weighing in on the issue of female pubic hair and lustful comments about a nude woman’s picture appeared on the social media website.
The XVIII Airborne Corps spokesman, Col. Joe Buccino, said the garrison has “ruled out any malicious intent” by its public affairs officials. He added that they still don’t have much information about how the incident occurred.

I’m betting it was someone who was getting out in a few days.

They went to one of the accounts that showed boobs and was chatting away.

Many units have Twitter & Facebook pages that are run by the PAO’s.

The posts have a page so others who are not assigned to those units have a place for updates.
Picnics, sports stuff , etc

On Oct 21 2020 the official Fort Bragg Twitter account was shutdown after a member of the E-4 Mafia tweeted out multiple thirsty replies to an Only-Fans Twitter account. Officials at Fort Bragg released a statement claiming the account had been hacked but every enlisted knows what happened. The E-4 Mafia strikes again. The account remains closed as of this update.

They took it down. That’s why I copied it.

We’ll have to wait and see who it was.
