The well-known task force Syrian Electronic Army προσπάθησε να επιτεθεί σε αρκετές μεγάλες ιστοσελίδες, όπως την Google, την Yahoo, την Amazon και το Facebook μετά από hacking που πραγματοποίησαν στα συστήματα του παρόχου υπηρεσιών διαχείρισης domain MarkMonitor.
It seems that MarkMonitor stopped the attack before the Syrian attacking team caused a great deal of damage. However, the screenshots published by Syrian Electronic Army on Twitter show that they had already gained access to its administration panels MarkMonitor for Google, The Yahoo, The Amazon and Facebook.
Shortly before MarkMonitor technicians detected the attack and managed to shut down the management panel to prevent hackers to take further action, SEA posted a screenshot showing that they had already started to change the data of Facebook.
The picture shows that the addresses of the registrants had changed with one from Damascus. The message accompanying the screenshot states, "Happy Birthday Mark! Facebook.com belongs to SEA. "
