ISIS Terror- Hit List

This could be the first assault done by ISIS on the nation's military. The Islamic State Hacking Division leaked their "Hit list" of 100 American military personnel with their photos and personal addresses. The Pentagon has never seen this tactic being used before. The White House has confirmed a federal investigation on how credible this hit list is. White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, states that is seems that ISIS has gotten the personnel's personal information from social media. He also stated that the Obama administration is keeping in touch with the branches of the government to ensure the protection the personnel. The government can not do much at this point since the hit list isn't confirmed, but they do advise the personnel that are named of the list to delete personal information on social media. Since the hit list was posted on Twitter and YouTube, both social medias have agreed to take them down. A Navy official is staying in communication with the personnel's families to ensure their safety. There also seems to be a connection with the names on the hit list with the U.S lead air campaign over Iraq and Syria against ISIS because some of the personnel on the hit list were pilots in this air campaign. This means that these names were not picked at random by ISIS.  Just imagine living in complete fear and always checking behind your back because your on the 'ISIS Hit List'!
