They're back: Syrian Electronic Army Hacks WaPo Article Recommendations

The Syrian Electronic Army is back. This time, they hacked an article recommendation service used by many large news organizations: Outbrain.Online The Washington Post has a small box underneath all of its articles that display recommendations. Instead, the box said "Hacked by SEA." The Post confirmed that the site was hijacked. In a later article, WaPo linked the attack to Outbrain, a service that is responsible for the site's article recommendations.
Outbrain soon posted on Twitter that it was hacked, but didn't blame anyone. Outbrain also notes that "the breach now seems to be secured."

Due to an attack, our recommendations are down. Our team is working to get our system secure & up shortly. Apologize for any inconvenience.
