Financial Times Becomes the Latest Media Site Hacked Over Syria
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Financial Times’s blog and some of its social media accounts were hacked today, with messages appearing on the sites relating to the conflict in Syria.
The FT Trading Room account on Twitter posted two messages. One said “Syrian Electronic Army Was Here,” and the other “Do you want to know the reality of the Syrian ‘Rebels’? Just watch this video.” The link showed a man cutting the heart from a corpse as an unidentified voice says “I swear in the name of god that we will eat from your hearts and livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog.”
The attack on the Financial Times accounts again highlights users’ concerns that it’s too easy to compromise social-media channels such as Twitter.
