Too bad they're not willing to hire a cybersecurity specialist! There are a few of us that would like to come back to the shore for good tech work!.

Maybe they should hire Chuck Cook.

Chuck Cook? He's a web designer at best. Any 6th grader can design a website these days.

No big deal here. WBOC uses a canned site that has known exploits. Most news companies us the same canned stuff from world now. Once you hack one the rest are easy.

What kind of sloppy IT director would use the same password for both the website administration and their twitter account? And if they didn't use the same password, they probably linked them both back to the same email address, so that you have "forgotten password" emailed to you where this "hacker" had access.

Anyone think that this is some bulls***american hacker being funny. Why would Isis attack a small time tv station?

When needed, the pages of the koran can be used as toilet paper. It does the job.

ISIS may be planning to strategically take over cities and small towns around our nations capital? There are a lot of government operated things from DC to Virginia.

Maybe any internet stuff connected to Draper Communications should be in question like those people who use Delmarva Online as their internet provider.
