President Obama Has His Twitter And Facebook Links Hacked
President Obama’s link shortener service was hijacked by a Syrian hacker squad Monday night. The hack caused President Obama’s Twitter and Facebook pages to redirect links originally meant for Obama’s website to instead point to a Syrian revolutionary propaganda video. The video highlights the Syrian Electronic Army, a group supporting the Assad regime in Syria.
The hackers claimed to have access to a multitude of the campaign’s email accounts. The group posted a series of screenshots demonstrating the hack, including shots of the backend of the Obama campaign website.
