After they has taken over the account, they posted messages to claim that President Obama was shot twice at an Iowa restaurant and passed away. The shooter's identity was unknown.
A representative of the group 'Scriptkiddies' said in an interview with the Think Magazine: "Fox News was selected because we figured their security would be just as much of a joke as their reporting."
