The Independent Newspaper And CNBC Have Been Hacked

The Independent newspaper and the CNBC website have been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA).

The messages appeared on Thursday at around midday. The SEA is a well-known hacking group set up in 2011 in response to coverage of terrorism by western media.

The SEA, a pro-Assad Regime organisation, uses phishing, spamming, and malware to disrupt the internet.

The hacks today are the latest attacks in a long line of them.
