A group of hackers recently hijacked the Twitter feed for USA Today.

"The group, who use the self-disparaging moniker Script Kiddies, hijacked the @USAToday Twitter feed to encourage fans to contact them to suggest new targets," writes The Register's John Leyden. "'Please like The Script Kiddies on Facebook! You could choose our next target!' one of the unauthorized (since purged) updates said."

"Script Kiddies previously hit the micro-blogging feeds of Fox News -- where they posted a false bulletin on the fictitious assassination of US President Barack Obama -- and NBC News, where they posted false news about an imaginary terrorist attack on New York," Leyden writes.

Go to "USA Today pwned by s'kiddies on Twitter" to read the details.
