A terrorist group from the Middle East has made threats against over 100 troops from the US military. The group claimed to have hacked into a military database to attain information on the troops. They went on to post names and addresses of the troops so that way their "brothers residing in America" could carry out the attacks. The US government says that they are taking the threats seriously and are in contact with the troops that were on the list, asking them to be careful with the amount of personal information they might have out on social media.
Do you think that these are credible threats? If so, do you think that the government is doing enough to ensure the safety of these troops, why or why not? What other measures can be taken to protect them from possible attacks?

Good job!
I think the threats are very credible. Those people will stop at nothing to hurt Americans. The government needs to improve the security of the soldiers. The firewall needs to be improved. Don't keep personal information on a computer. Personal security, moving and getting rid of social media are some ways of protecting these soldiers.
Who knows if they are! I do know one thing though. Those people are cray cray! And, i dont know what else the government could do for the troops. They cant really give the soldiers body guards. And I think that they do need to make those cites less hack-able. They need to protect the troops information better.
I hope that these are not credible threats because it is pretty sad that somebody would do that to somebody who protects them.
I agree!
These are pretty highly volatile threats! I think the government should be helping a lot more than what they're doing now! These people need to be ensured their safety! Their own lives are at stake. I believe they should try and cut off any foreign or unknown attachments to America's wireless internet connections or just restrict other countries from be able to tap into American's wireless pages or connections.
I agree, I think the government needs to do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of these troops, especially since these are the men and women that risk their lives to make sure we are safe.
I feel like it's not serious because if they would like to do something they would do it without no threats. Even though I feel like they should be careful with the things they post and where they go. I feel like the government should put them in a better place or a more trusted place.
I think that they are credible! The government should do a lot more! They are protecting our butts overseas! We wouldn't be where we are today without them! Give them a security team of some sort! Heck, don't let them go anywhere without someone watching over them!
I agree. These men and women do a lot to ensure our safety so we need to return the favor and make sure that them and their families are safe as well, especially in our own country.
