The well-known task force Syrian Electronic Army allegedly hacked a total of four of his accounts Twitter of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
Syrian policymakers captured Twitter accounts @wsjafrica, @wsjeurope, @vsvvintage, and @wsjd, as reported by Poynter. They immediately published the message "@Irawinkler is a cockroach," or in Greek "@Irawinkler is a cockroach", along with a photo of Ira Winkler's head with the body of a cockroach.
Journalism by clicking here WSJ quickly reacted and removed the tweets.
Of course, we do not know the method used by the hacktivists to gain access to the accounts, although from previous ones attacks, we know they are very good phishers.
But why did the Syrian Electronic Army team mention Winkler? The hackers recently learned about a presentation made by Winkler, CEO of Secure Mentem, at the RSA Conference.
In his presentation, the expert described in detail the methods used by the Syrian Electronic Army team. He also said that he has managed to locate some of the members of the group and called them SEA. "Internet cockroaches."
Apparently the hackers didn't like the characterization and so they defaced the RSA conference website. Of course, they didn't actually hack the RSA website Conference, but they redirected her visitors to a garbled page.
