The US Army official website was hacked earlier today.
The hackers called themselves the Syrian Electronic Army–
The website is currently down.
NBC News reported:
Defense officials confirm the official public Army website has been hacked by unknown intruders demanding the U.S. stop training rebel fighters inside Syria.
Unlike the massive hack into Office of Personnel Management records, the officials stress the website contains no official classified information or private personal data of any Amy personnel, military or civilian.
The messages reportedly proclaimed “YOU’VE BEEN HACKED” and added “YOUR COMMANDERS ADMIT THEY ARE TRAINING THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE SENT YOU TO DIE FIGHTING.”
It’s not clear yet whether the Army or the hackers shut down the website.
The Syrian Electronic Army has a Twitter page and posted this online.
