Η Independent, η Telegraph, καθώς και η ιστοσελίδα του CNBC παραβιάστηκαν από την γνωστή μας ομάδα Syrian Electronic Army (SEA). Twitter users also report other websites, such as PC World, Forbes, OK Magazine, NHL, Elsevier, and the official Dell website in the UK.
A popup window says “You've been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA).” Our hacktivist team is already known from various attacks on Facebook, high profile Twitter profiles and many more.
According to TNW, Independent confirmed the attack, but said its guests are not in danger.
