Russian hackers posed as ISIS to threaten military wives

Are there any personal experiences of this here?

When an Associated Press reporter told me late last year I was among those targeted in a hacking campaign executed by Russian operatives, I was amused. Little old me? Was I really worth targeting? But as I scrolled through my email messages from around the time of the 2015 hacking attempts, I saw something much bigger in play with astounding security implications for the U.S. Army. When Russia targeted my Gmail account and me, it wasn't just my personal information that was compromised. If foreign agents gained access to my data, they also gained access to the personal information of our Army Family Readiness Group (FRG) and everyone in it. In just one month during which an attack took place, dozens of spreadsheets with the names, physical addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and even details about children for at least 500 individual Army family members had been delivered by Army unit officials to my personal email address. If I was compromised, so were they. And they likely have no idea. The U.S. government knew this happened and did virtually nothing. Instead they warned only a handful of the targets, according to an AP investigation. I was not among those.

Like the hundreds of other volunteers that fuel the Army family support group machine, I am expected to use my personal email to communicate with our FRG and unit leaders. Generalized troop movement info, homecoming dates, deployment dates, family support group training manuals and other information about unit functions have also regularly been emailed to me. And because I rarely delete anything, all of that data and information still sits in my inbox today. Although it is not clear whether foreign operatives ever did actually gain access to my email account, the personal security implications of the attempt are sweeping and should be a shock to everyone in the Army community. The Army has a responsibility to tell families that their data may have been compromised through access to my inbox or the inboxes of other targeted individuals. According to the AP, the FBI knew who was on this list. However, I was never notified by any U.S. official that I had been targeted. To the best of my recollection, I never received any notification or correspondence from Google, either. No matter how you shake it out, the hacking attempts on my account and the information that was potentially compromised must spark some hard conversations at the Pentagon about how we treat military family information and protect the people who handle it." If Russia Hacked Me, It Exposed the US Army Family System
