NPR hacked by Syrian Electronic Army

[eddie]

Assads boys hacked NPR, which is not good. But not a world changing event. I think they should be a bit more worried about the rebels they are fighting over there, instead of NPR.

Someone might want to tell them to get a life,lol

Why NPR?!

They don't have anything interesting anyway... If I was Syria, I'd go after something better like Power Grids and what not.

Because they want to target any news organization that talks about the Syrian government in a bad light.

What that means is that NPR has a lot of things to say about what is going on in Syria that the Syrian government does not like.

The Syrian government is a little busy fighting a civil war and attacking the United Sates in anyway is not on their "to do" list in fact it is their best interest that the US not get involved.


The most viable target for cyber warfare would be the banking system of a nation.The Russian government for example in 2008 had hackers attack the Georgian banking system a few hours before they invaded the country.Of course interestingly enough many of the attacks originated form IP addresses in the US.Which means that hackers living in the US where paid to carryout the attack.If they knew who their employer was is not known but they most likely did not.
