The hackers team Syrian Electronic Army είναι γνωστή για τις επιθέσεις Spear Phishing, carried out by malicious emails. Today the
the SEA team has been able to modify the DNS registrations of domains ebay.co.uk and paypal.co.uk and distort their websites.
“Η Paypal είναι hacked από την SEA γιατί δν επιτρέπουν στους πολίτες της Συρίας να αγοράζουν προϊόντα online” the team said in a tweet.
The team said it was purely a cheating act and not to hit user accounts or data.
Immediately after, the team hit Paul Whitted's email account, Site Engineering Center Manager on eBay, and published screenshots of internal communications.
Please note that the violations do not pose a risk to the users of the services, as they were made by modifying the DNS of the domains.
