Syrian Electronic Army Strikes Tango

After hacking several Twitter accounts, the Syrian Electronic Army is back to claim stealing millions of email addresses and phone numbers from the millions of users of the popular messaging service Tango. The SEA says it will give the data to the Syrian government soon. The hack was publicly announced by Tango on Saturday, but only said that "some data" has been accessed.

Tango experienced a cyber intrusion that resulted in unauthorized access to some data. We are working on increasing our security systems.

The SkyHelp Team Hacked By SEA

Next up in line for hacking by the Syrian Electronic Army: British Broadcaster Sky News. Tonight, all of its Android apps were hacked and replaced. Also, the hackers changed the broadcaster's Google Play developer page to show the SEA's logo. As of 10:18am EST, all of Sky's apps have been removed from the Play store and the developer's page is down.



 

The Sky Team is actively aware of the hack, and is working to fix the mess caused by it. If you have any of the hacked Android apps installed on your phone, please uninstall them.

Has The Onion Been Hacked by The Syrian Electronic Army?

Apparently, The Onion is next on the hack list for the Syrian Electronic Army. After hacking many other large international publishing companies, it appears that The Onion has been hacked by this group. It is unclear whether this hack is legitimate or not, because The Onion is a satirical news site.

In addition to The Onion, an Associated Press hack had the stock market take a little dip just a few days ago.

Twitter is claiming to be creating a two-step verification system for login. But for now, we are stuck with just regular passwords.

As The Onion always adds satire into news events, they have apparently changed their Twitter password to "OnionMan77", just to make their Twitter account "impenetrable".

Below is a screenshot of the tweets from the apparent SEA hack.
