"Some Reuters stories on Sunday sent users to a message from the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) that claimed the media outlet was spreading false stories, an issue first noticed by users on Twitter.\nThe SEA has been one of the most active and visible organized hacking efforts in recent years, targeting sites that they believe spread false information about the government of Syria. \nSee also: What Is the Syrian Electronic Army?\n\nYikes. @Reuters hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army \u2014 again. pic.twitter.com/MWQp9gNxxA\n\u2014 Elizabeth Hagedorn (@ElizHagedorn) June 22, 2014\n\nReuters was previously hacked by SEA in 2013. \nBut while Reuters is one of the group's most high-profile victims, some have reported that the news agency's internal systems were not compromised. Security experts have instead pointed to Taboola, a content discovery platform used by a variety of news agencies, as the true victim of the hacking attack. \n\"Reuters was not compromised this time,\" wrote Frederic Jacobs in a Medium post. Jacobs posted a screenshot that he said proved that Taboola's network was redirecting users to the SEA pages. \n\"As many of the previously compromised organizations, Taboola uses Google Apps. The Syrian Electronic Army has repeatedly used their Google phishing templates to trick users into giving up their passwords,\" he added.\nThe claims of Jacobs mesh with tweets from a Twitter account associated with SEA that purported to show a PayPal account associated with Taboola.\n\nA quick look into the Israeli company @Taboola PayPal account. #SEA pic.twitter.com/L7qPoZWMlN\n\u2014 SyrianElectronicArmy (@Official_SEA16) June 22, 2014\n\nHave something to add to this story?
