Twitter hoax sparks swift stock swoon? - General MIllsâ„¢ - 05-27-2013 02:24 PM
"The shocking tweet came from the Associated Press earlier this afternoon: "Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured."
The AP's communications team quickly tweeted from its own account that the main AP Twitter was compromised, but investors had already panicked. The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) immediately plunged by more than 140 points."
Your thoughts?

Terrorists will see this and use it as motivation to pull off a successful attack. Crying shame the market reacts that way, all it does is encourage more attacks.

All the Cons disappointed that the news wasn't true are absolutely disgusting.
