The webσελίδα του Forbes φαίνεται να έχει παραβιαστεί από τη γνωστή χακτιβιστική team Syrian Electronic Army. A post titled “Hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army” that appeared out of the blue announced the event to unsuspecting visitors, journalists and page administrators. The articles started to become more and more and under different faces each time.
So there have been publications by journalists Andy Greenberg, Matthew Herper, John Dobosz and Steve Forbes. This may mean that hackers have access to multiple accounts, or only to one with management rights.
Later softpedia contacted them and reported that the hackers gained access to the panels wordpress management used by Forbes.
It's another successful attack on a high-profile target by the team who knows how to crack phishing emails.

In addition to posting the journalists, the hackers have not caused any other damage to the famous journalistic website. The reason for the attack on Forbes is because its journalists have published too many articles against their group (SEA) and against Syria.
