Hackers crash CBS Twitter feeds

Twitter accounts for two CBS News programs were suspended last night after hackers apparently used them to issue a string of anti-government messages.

The tweets coming from the compromised “60 Minutes” and “48 Hours” accounts seemed farfetched — including one that claimed the US government was “hiding the real culprit of the Boston bombing.”

Several were supportive of Syria and its people, and one Tweet gave credit for the hacking to the “Syrian Electronic Army.”

CBS News said it was working with Twitter to resolve the problem.
