On Wednesday morning The Syrian Electronic Army hacked The
New York Times website and after that The New York Times started to be restored
for the readers.
Times spokeswoman, Eileen M. Murphy declared that the
problem is resolved and everything is ok. A group of hackers, The SEA, who
support and follow Bashar Al Assad, the Syrian president, declared the
responsibility online.
On Tuesday The Times said that its website crashed at 3 p.m.
and then an online attack followed that. The problems with the attack are not
new and the site remained down throughout early on Wednesday, and Murphy said
that there is not new outage in this morning.
She added that if there is still a problem accessing the
site that because of their internet service provider is not restored the domain
system.
In two weeks The Times failed twice, there was internal
problem on 14 August.
The chief information officer for The New York Times, Marc Frons,
declared that he did not blame the Syrian Electronic Army, and he told the
staff to be very careful when they are sending any information only in this
stage until they resolve the problem.
Twitter and Huffington also attacked from hackers. The media
websites become complex and vulnerable because they gather software and content
which is from partners.
The hackers of the websites gained access to the reseller’s
account on Melbourne IT’s . Melbourne IT’s declared that it restored the
affected DNS records to all the previous settings and takes all the approach to
prevent any change to happen.
The New York Times is taking all the procedures to protect
all the websites and the stuff of The New York Times makes all his best to
control on this problem and to reduce the damage.
