Syrian Electronic Army Takes Another Poke at Microsoft

The Syrian Electronic Army, which is notorious for launching cyberattacks against the media, on Monday defaced the Microsoft Office blog site. The hack occurred after Microsoft redesigned the blog site following an SEA attack earlier this month. "A targeted cyberattack temporarily affected the Microsoft Office blog and the account was reset," said exec Dustin Childs. No customer information was compromised, and Microsoft "continues to take a number of actions to protect our employees and accounts against this industry-wide issue," he added.
