Hacked AP Twitter account sends bogus news about Obama injury, stock market plummets
NEW YORK, April 23 (Xinhua) -- The main twitter account of the Associated Press was hacked on Tuesday afternoon,
sending out a false news claiming that Obama was injured in a White House explosion, which caused a sharp drop and a quick rebound in the U. S. stock market.
The hackers tweeted "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured" at 12:07 p.m. via the AP's official twitter account @AP,
which instantly got more than 3,000 retweets and drew widely attention from local media and twitter users.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 150 points minutes after the false alert, then quickly bounced back to normal after traders learned that the White House was not attacked.
