The cryptic 13-character message appeared on STRATCOM’s Twitter feed on Sunday evening. In the 30 minutes that transpired before the post was removed, it racked up thousands of retweets.
The message prompted a wave of frantic speculation regarding whether something relatively benign, such as a Twitter password being compromised, or something far more serious, such as part of a launch code for nuclear weapons entering the public domain, had taken place.
