The US Marine Corps urges “vigilance” after a group claiming to be Islamic State hackers publishes what they said were the names and addresses of 100 military personnel and urges supporters to kill them.
The warning comes after a group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division posted information about members of the air force, army and navy, including photos and ranks, on the Internet, according to monitoring group SITE Intelligence.
The US Marine Corps says it was visiting all affected staff, and urges caution online.
“Vigilance and force protection considerations remain a priority for commanders and their personnel,” US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel John Caldwell says in a statement, adding that the threat remained “unverified.”
“It is recommended Marines and family members check their online/social footprint, ensuring privacy settings are adjusted to limit the amount of available personal information.”
