The Wall Street Journal Facebook page was temporarily taken over by an unknown hacker (or hackers) and posted a series of updates stating that Air Force One had gone down over Russia which was quickly followed up with one relating to a Joe Biden statement regarding the incident.
RT reports that while some users, as they confessed, were simply “freaking out” and got “a panic attack”, suspicious minds tried to find a confirmation on other sources. Others dug even deeper asking “how do we know that the page isn't compromised NOW and that stuff before was real?”
