Report: Phishing Attacks Enabled SEA To Crack CNN’s Social Media

Syrian Electronic Army’s breach of CNN’s social media accounts on Friday was the product of an intense, sophisticated phishing attack, a news report says. A CNN employee fell for the ruse, revealing his password on a fake login page, Mashable reports. The SEA used this access to post messages on CNN’s Twitter and other accounts, according to the report. The attack is consistent with other attacks that the SEA has launched on media and social networks, says Adam Meyers, VP of intelligence at CrowdStrike.”]
