The Onion’s Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army. Employees were phished three ways: at least one employee fell for it, two more fell for a phishing email. One set of credentials allowed the hackers to assume control of the account. Eventually passwords were reset across each and every account within the company. The take home is that phishing attacks are easy to fall for, especially if you work at The Onion, so stay alert to the hackers. The Onion has now explained exactly how the account was compromised.”]
