Syrian Electronic Army hacks CNN, Washington Post

The Syrian Electronic Army hacked the Washington Post, CNN and Time magazines Thursday in its latest cyber-attack on media organizations it considers hostile to Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. Both CNN and the Post reported that links on their respective websites redirected users to the SEA’s own site. The SEA has previously infiltrated the Financial Times, Reuters, and ITV News. The hacker group’s best-known media assault came when they overrode the Associated Press Twitter feed to falsely report that US President Barack Obama was injured during an attack on the White House.
