Syrian Electronic Army Hits Financial Times Sites, Feeds 24
puddingebola writes with an excerpt from the New York Times: "The Web site and several Twitter accounts belonging to The Financial Times were hacked on Friday by the Syrian Electronic Army in a continuing campaign that has aimed at an array of media outlets ranging from The Associated Press to the parody site The Onion, according to a claim by the so-called army. The Syrian Electronic Army said it seized control of several F.T. 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 F.T.'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.'"

Why? What do they gain from these hacks?
I have the feeling that this has nothing to do with Syria.

maybe it's just all a big joke? lulzsec for 2013.
well - a joke and a cover story.
so the whole world is after some guys in syria and not some kids in queens. if you're hacking, proxying through syria is a smart move though! they're not going to co-operate with anyone on the matter!
