Globe/NYT say Thomson Reuters hit by "Syrian army" hack

2013-05-21 08:41 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition the website and several Twitter accounts of The Financial Times of London were hacked Friday by the Syrian Electronic Army in a continuing campaign that has targeted an array of media outlets. A New York Times News Service inside The Globe quotes the Syrian Electronic Army as saying it seized control of several FT Twitter accounts and amended a number of the site's blog posts with the headline "Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army." Hackers used their access to the FT's Twitter feed to post messages, including one that said, "Syrian Electronic Army Was Here," and another that linked to a YouTube video of an execution. Both messages were quickly removed. The FT confirmed that it had been hacked through its Twitter feed, telling Twitter followers, "Various FT blogs and social-media accounts have been compromised by hackers and we are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible." The attack follows dozens of others on the social-media accounts of The Guardian, the BBC, NPR, Reuters and the Associated Press. In the AP attack, the group used its access to the agency's Twitter feed to plant a false story about explosions at the White House.
