How the Washington Post was hijacked by the Syrian Electronic Army (again)

Syrian Electronic Army hijacked the mobile version of the Washington Post website to display pop-up messages claiming that the media is not telling the truth. The hackers claim they broke into systems belonging to Instart Logic, the content delivery network (CD)B) used by the newspaper. Washington Post chief information officer Shailesh Prakash confirmed the security breach, and reassured readers that no data had been stolen. The situation has been resolved and no customer information was impacted. The message is clear. Not only do you need your own systems to be hardened against malicious hackers, you also need to ensure that third-party suppliers are also taking security seriously.”]
