IS may have used social media to gather info

WASHINGTON: As the terror group Islamic State (IS) released personal information on more than 1,000 US government and military employees this week, it’s possible that the radical group used social media to do so, a US expert said Friday.

A group known as the IS hacking division on Wednesday released a list of mostly US military and government personnel, urging supporters to attack those on the list. The list has names, email addresses and phone numbers of members of US Marines, State Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and others.
