VarietyCNN’s social media outlets, including Twitter and Facebook, were briefly hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army late Thursday.
The hacker group, responsible for compromising several press outlets over the last year, typically post content related to the ongoing conflict in Syria.
“Obama Bin Laden the lord of terror is brewing lies that the Syrian state controls Al Qaeda,” the group wrote on CNN’s Twitter and Facebook news feeds.
Another post read: “DON’T FORGET: Al Qaeda is Al CIA da. Funded, armed and controlled.”
The posts were later deleted by the news network, who then tweeted the following statement:
Some of our organization's social media accounts were compromised. We have secured those accounts and deleted unauthorized tweets.

Previous victims of the Syrian Electronic Army include the AP, The Washington Post, President Obama’s official Twitter, and The Onion.

This may or may not be part of the CNN hack. Scary if this is true.
That story is scaring somebody. The stock market is down 212 right now just for today. I don’t do the stock thing, but it is something to watch as a warning sign.
My Fellow Patriots:
Allow me to clarify this a little:
The CIA thought of,.. funded, organized, supplied and controls the,… “Syrian Electronic Army”,.. and most of the hacking is occuring straight from here (Colorado),.. or where their paymasters are,… in Tele Aviv,… Israel.
I’m sure Syria has a cyber unit,.. but they would not be so dumb as to make random attacks like this,… that only serves the CIA,.. Israels and the International Banksters agenda.
JD – US Marines – Its amazing how much of this nonsense is completely manufactured. This stuff makes, “Wag The Dog” look like a low-grade, amature-hour operetta.
okay in one of the tweets from the Syrian electronic army it is saying that al qaeda is the CIA, and it says how Obama is lying saying that Syria is backing al Qaeda. How does this serve the CIA?
Hi Missy,
The way you just proved how it works.
It’s already been figured out who is behind Al-Qeada,.. and the SEA,… so how best to cover your tracks then to have a comment of this nature which for the average person would be “proof” that the CIA was NOT behind that tweet (what an idotic venacular “tweet” is…)
This is a particular kind of tactic that has a small danger of back-firing on them,… like the Snowjob (Snowden) bull,… but it does serve to confuse people since people of low intelligence would immediatly latch on the SIMPLE argument: “…. but if the CIA really is behind the SEA (… and Al-Qaeda),.. they would NEVER say that about THEMSELVES!!!!,.. would they??!!)
Don’t pay any attention to the noise,… use your common sense and think,.. if you were the Syrain Electronic Army,… that actually work for the Syrian Gov’t,…. would you even consider wasting you time on idiocy like this,… and exposing your hacking potential/methods??
Ans: No,.. you wouldn’t.
The best military capability,.. is that which is kept a secret until really needed.
Anyway,.. thats just part of the answer, but I think you should start to get the idea now (like Israel,… play the “victim”)
JD – US Marines – Ignore the magician’s hand waving (the distraction),.. and ask what the hidden hand is really doing….
Controlled opposition, Missy. That’s the name of the game. As Sun Tzu says, “All warfare is based on deception”.
The CIA is just creating a diversion for themselves. They are trying to take the heat off of themselves. They are playing the victim like JD says.
When you do enough research, you’re able to pick out what is real and what is bullshit and these tweets are definitely bullshit.
I can see your point, it really could be either way, there is so much BS out there, and so many lies, what do you believe? I take every thing with a grain of salt, I pray about it and meditate on it and I let the Holy Spirit guide me, that is all I can do. I will always believe God before man.
