<h1>ISIS hackers use Newsweek's Twitter account to threaten Obamas</h1>

When Newsweek's Twitter account was hacked on Tuesday by Islamic extremists sympathizers, they issued a message to First Lady Michelle Obama and the rest of her family. And they're apparently plotting another St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Cyber Caliphate, the name adopted by hackers supporting the Islamic State, took credit for the hack.

The attacks came on the same day that the White House announced it is setting up a new agency designed to coordinate cyberthreat intelligence. Now, it's spread across the federal government.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest didn't have any response to the specific threat made via Twitter, but Newsweek's parent company did issue an apology.

"We apologize to our readers for anything offensive that might have been sent from our account during that period, and are working to strengthen our newsroom security measures going forward," IBT Media, Newsweek's owner, said in an emailed statement.

It's not the first time Islamic extremists have set their sights on Obama. Two weeks ago, ISIS produced a video where it said it would behead President Barack Obama
