Fake Military Evacuation Order

US military personnel in South Korea received orders to evacuate immediately Thursday in what turned out to be an ill-timed hoax at a time of high tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

The orders came via text message and Facebook and targeted members of the military and their families.

[...]

“USFK [US Forces Korea] did NOT issue this message,” the USKR said on Facebook. It explained it received “multiple” reports that people received the messages.

“All U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) family members are reminded to confirm any evacuation-related communications with their service member and unit non-combatant evacuation (NEO) representatives.” it said.

[...]

The incident is being investigated by cyber personnel. Whether a prank or a more sinister attempt to sow panic among US military, the messages likely caused confusion and panic among those who received it.
