Vice.com hacked by Syrian Electronic Army
Visitors to the news portion of Vice.com – part of an international media brand that concentrates on arts, culture and other news – on Friday evening may have been surprised by a headline that read, “Syrian Electronic Army Was Here.”
The post – which had ‘SEA' on the byline – was simply a brief (below).
“Your website was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army,” it stated in large letters. “This time we just deleted the article that you claimed in it that you exposed “TH3PR0” identity. But you didn't. You published names of innocent people instead. The second time we will delete all your website. Special hi from TH3PR0 :) Done.” The text was spaced out carefully beneath the avian logo – boldly emblazoned in the main body of the article – that is used frequently by the pro-Assad hacktivists.
