Pro-Syrian government hackers take over The Guardian’s Twitter accounts. Syrian Electronic Army previously targeted Associated Press BBC, al-Jazeera, the Qatari government and National Public Radio in the U.S. Cyber-security experts believe the SEA have targeted a series of western media organisations in an apparent attempt to cause disruption and spread support for President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The group’s domain names were apparently registered by the Syrian Computer Society, which was headed in the 1990s by Bashar al Assad before he became president.
