Syrian Electronic Army Twitter Suspended after eBay and PayPal Attacks
After the Syrian Electronic Army continued their cyber reign and hacked eBay and PayPal, Twitter suspended the official Twitter account for the Syrian Electrnoic Army, @Official_SEA16. The pro Syrian hacker group known as the Syrian Electronic Army releases the groups latest hacking actions on their Twitter and other social media accounts. #SEA is used to begin ban on Facebook regularly, but it seems Twitter has taken action recently. The Syrian hackers have already set up a new Twitter at @SEA_Official17. Syrian Electronic Army’s old twitter account seems to have had tweets removed along with other pieces of information missing. The leader of the special operations department in the Syrian Electronic Army, Th3Pr0, tweeted
Twitter suspended our main account(@Official_SEA16), We are working to bring it back if it’s possible, for now follow @SEA_Official17 #SEA
The future for the Syrian Electronic Army’s social media remains unknown. But from past obstructions we know this will not cripple their cyber attacks.
UPDATE: Their official account is back online as of February 3, 2014.
