Forbes Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army

Hacked Forbes! The Syrian Electronic Army struck again

The web του Forbes φαίνεται να έχει παραβιαστεί από τη γνωστή χακτιβιστική 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 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.

The team Syrian Electronic Army, it seems he didn't just violate her του Forbes αλλά και 3 λογαριασμούς του Twitter που ανήκουν σε μέλη της δημοσιογραφικής ομάδας. Οι λογαριασμοί @samsharf, @ForbesTech and @TheAlexKnapp is under the guise of the chektists. At the time of writing, only Samantha Sharf's account is showing messages from them Syrian Electronic Army (Syrian Electronic Army Was Here).

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.
