Syrian Hackers Hijack IDF Twitter Sparking Fears of Nuclear Leak.
On 8th July 2014, A Syrian hacker group hijacked a Twitter account for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Thursday night to broadcast false news about a rocket attack and leak at a nuclear facility.
For the second time in less than a week, the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) attacked IDF social media by hacking their spokesperson's Twitter account and wrote: "Possible nuclear leak in the region after 2 rockets hit Dimona nuclear facility."
While the IDF promptly deleted the tweet, the SEA reposted a screenshot for its followers.
The false news given by Syrian Hackers can cause people to go nuts because their life are threaten. Israel Defence Force should make sure their twitter account are not easily hack my Syrian Hackers because they play an important role of delivering message towards their people. Syrian Hackers won't be able to influence the people that much when IDF manage to secure their access towards social media.
