VOIP Provider Viber Attacked By Syrian Electronic Army

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday July 23, 2013 @10:35AM from the bad-hackers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The hacking group known as the Syrian Electronic Army have hacked into Viber, defacing its support website, and posting what they claim is evidence of surveillance by the free phone-messaging app. The Syrian Electronic Army posted a message claiming the 'Israeli-based Viber is spying and tracking you' alongside what appeared to be a screenshot of an internal Viber database containing users' phone numbers, device UDIDs, IP address, operating system, and Viber version information." Viber is saying the attack was minor: "...the hack only allowed access to two minor systems, a customer support panel and a support administration system. According to the company's official response, 'no sensitive user data was exposed and Viber's databases were not "hacked."' Apparently, an employee simply fell victim to a phishing attack.

Muslim men just love kiddie porn and were looking scouring the net to see men fucking little boys in the ass just like their prophet Mohammad did.

Fuck Mohammad! Fuck Allah! FUCK ISLAM!!!

Modding it down does not make it any less true. Or any more likely to improve.
The muslim religion is not compatable with the rest of the people on the planet.
The sooner we wise up to that fact. The easier it will be to deal with.
