The well-known task force Syrian Electronic Army allegedly violated four of her Twitter accounts 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.
The journalistic website WSJ quickly reacted and removed the tweets.
Of course, we don't know the way the hacktivists used to acquire it access στους λογαριασμούς, αν και από προηγούμενες επιθέσεις, γνωρίζουμε ότι είναι πολύ καλοί 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."
As the characterization did not like the hackers, they deformed the RSA conference website. In fact, they did not violate the RSA Conference website, but they redirected their visitors to a distorted page.
