Human
Rights Watch Official Website & Twitter Accounts Hacked by Syrian Electronic
Army
The hackers from
Syrian Electronic Army have
hacked and defaced
the official website of
Human Rights Watch (HRW)
(www.hrw.org) along with 3 of its Twitter accounts. Syrian Electronic Army known
as hardcore supporters of Syrian president Bashar ul Assad, defaced the site an
hour ago, leaving their deface page which redirects the sites to army’s
official
forum.
While three of Human Rights Watch Twitter accounts were also taken over, one of
the accounts is verified account of
HRW with 568,467 followers. Other two accounts belong to
Hanan
Salah, Libyan researcher at
Human Rights
Watch and third account belongs to
HRW Indonesia. Human Rights Watch’s
website and Twitter account (
https://twitter.com/hrw) were regained a while ago with an
apology on earlier Tweets against USA and Saudi Arabia by Syrian Electronic
Army.
