'All your reports are fake!': Pro-Assad Syrian Electronic Army hacks CNN's website and Twitter The pro-Assad Syrian Electronic Army hacked CNN's Twitter and one of their blogs tonight in their latest attack on an American news outlet. In the past, the SEA has target the New York Times, President Obama's Twitter and satire news-site The Onion. But today they look down 24-hour news network, posting a series of tweets on the news site's Twitter page as well as posts on the 'Security Clearance' blog. Takeover: The Syrian Electronic Army took over CNN's Twitter and website Thursday evening The posts were quickly deleted but not before several outlets had the opportunity to take screen grabs of the anti-CIA and anti-Al Qaeda tweets. On CNN's Twitter, the SEA wrote 'Syrian Electronic Army was here...Stop lying...All your reports are fake' as well as 'Long live Syria'. They also wrote: 'Obama Bin Laden the lord of terror is brewing lies that the Syrian state controls Al Qaeda'. Over on the Security Clearance blog, the SEA wrote an alarming headline saying: 'US declares state of national emergency, State department reportedly out of reach'. Past hacks: The SEA has targeted the New York Times, President Obama's Twitter and The Onion previously Government run? SEA was started in May 2011 and has an ambiguous relationship with the Syrian government Kicked out: CNN was quickly able to shut the group out of their system and delete the tweets and posts On their official Twitter page, the electronic army wrote that the attack was in retaliation for a CNN report 'aimed at prolonging the suffering in Syria'. CNN used its usual formula of present unverifiable information as truth, adopting a report by Qataris against Syria [sic]. Instead of any actual journalism, CNN turned into a loud horn calling for the destruction of the Syrian state. US Media strategy is now to hide the fact that the CIA controls and funds Al Qaeda by blaming Syria instead for their terror. The SEA will not stop to pursue these liars and will expose them and their methods for the world to see. Their tweets seem to be referencing a story CNN published Wednesday, about how a team of war crimes prosecutors and forensics experts had found 'direct evidence' of 'systematic torture and killing' by the Assad regime. The story was based on a report commissioned by the government of Qatar. Fake news: SEA also broke into CNN's Security Clearance blog, posting an alarming headline about a national emergency CNN was quick to shut out the hackers, but today's attack shows just hows how easy it is to gain access to these accounts. SEA launched their website in May 2011 and has since then been targeting foreign sites with a pro-Assad messages. The SEA's relationship with the Assad regime is ambiguous, but founders of the site have pledged they are independent. 'We are just Syrian youths who want to defend their country against the media campaign that is full of lies and fabricated news reports' one high-ranking represetative told the Daily Dot.
