Hackers Break Into Obama’s Own Website
In a revelation that could give Americans pause about their privacy on government-run websites, the Syrian Electronic Army hacked into President Obama’s Twitter account, Facebook page and campaign website.
The “Donate” page on the president’s website was apparently the hacking group’s target. Those who clicked on the page were at least temporarily redirected to the SEA website.
The Syrian Electronic Army is a major supporter of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Several months ago the group took credit for a hack on the New York Post’s Facebook page and Twitter account.
No, the president’s website is not connected to top secret material or a federal agency, but security on the account should be tight enough to protect the integrity of the online accounts. A Tweet by the Syrian Electronic Army after hacking into President Obama’s website and social networking accounts reads:
Obama doesn’t have any ethical issues with spying on the world, so we took it upon ourselves to return the favor. Obama spent so much money ravaging #Syria with terror, he can’t even pay his own bills. Thanks to our operation Twitter now blocks Obama’s dangerous propaganda links. We are watching you, Obama Bin Laden.
The SEA hack was not the only Obama website issue over the weekend.
