Financial Times blogs, Twitter feeds targeted by Syrian hackersMay 17, 2013 - 17:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Financial Times says that several of its blogs and Twitter feeds have been compromised by hackers. The Syrian Electronic Army, a pro-government group which has repeatedly attacked Western media organizations, has claimed responsibility, according to The Associated Press. A few of the FT's dozens of Twitter feeds were compromised Friday, May 17, and broadcast messages supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. One described the Syrian rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra as terrorists and linked to a graphic video of a hooded man shooting kneeling prisoners in the back of the head. The hackers have apparently spent much of the past 24 hours trying to break into the FT's system. An internal company memo distributed Thursday and seen by the AP warned FT employees not to click on suspicious emails.
