Washington Post Hacked, a Day After New York Times

barlevg writes "A day after the New York Times was brought down by a cyber attack, the Washington Post reported being hacked, with various news stories being redirected to the website of the Syrian Electronic Army. It's been speculated that this is the work of the same hacking syndicate that compromised both news organizations last year."

    Free Syrian Army = Illuminati/Aristocracy contractors

    Probably eastern european, just by odds...but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an American company...

    Hell it could be the same company that gets all the AC bots here on /.

    Democracy in Syria would significantly harm some old and relied-upon revenue streams for rich white people (oil from Iran to England).

    Our governments have been installing figurehead assholes in that region for centuries and Assad is no different.

    These attacks are to provoke conflict in the region to overwhelm the 'Arab Spring'-type democracy movement that was happening in Syria.

    The global elites don't want Syria to become like Lybia....doing these 'hacking' attacks is an easy way for them to prop-up the 'bad guys' in Syria without doing anything to provoke US/UN intervention.

    By doing this stuff they keep the status quo...which is a victory for them, given that Syrians were about to take back their democracy.
