US Navy ship's Facebook account hacked

[newyorkguy]

This happened last month but 1) I don't see it here and 2) I just read about it in the current Malwarebytes newsletter. Last month the official Facebook account of US Navy destroyer, the USS Kidd, was hacked. From Malwarebytes:

In an interview with Task & Purpose, Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a Navy spokesperson, confirmed the hijacking: “The official Facebook page for USS Kidd (DDG 100) was hacked. We are currently working with Facebook technical support to resolve the issue.” As we write [Oct. 7th], the US Navy has yet to regain control of the account. The hijacked account started streaming the video game live on October 4 for four hours. That session was followed by five more streams one after the other, each lasting for up to two hours.

The hackers ran a video game, Age of Empires, on the page until the account was shutdown. Below is a screen cap of the hack.

Kidd's been pirated! Perfect!

Someone said "Wo lo lo" at the account a few times and it came under their control.
