The pro-regime hacktivist collective “has discovered what it feels like to be a victim – after its own website was hacked by a rival group” of Turkish attackers, cyber researcher Graham Cluley writes.
SEA is known for fooling employees at high-profile organizations, like the Washington Post and Microsoft, into divulging online passwords to hack the companies’ Facebook and Twitter accounts.
A Turkish hacker group calling itself TurkGuvenligi seems to have been able to deface SEA’s site, because the pro-Assad group’s web hosting company was breached.
