The well-known hacktivist group Syrian Electronic Army tried to attack several major websites, such as 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's technicians detected the attack and managed to close the management panel to prevent hackers from taking further action, SEA published a screenshot showing that Facebook had already begun to change.
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. "
