Reuters Twitter Account Hacked

Reuters Twitter Account Hacked | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
A Reuters news service Twitter account appeared to have been hacked Monday, as the news organization suddenly began tweeting messages supportive of the Syrian president.
Gust MEES's insight:

 

A Thomson Reuters spokesman told The Wall Street Journal's Digits blog Monday night in an email: “Earlier today @thomsonreuters was hacked. In this time, unauthorized individuals have posted fabricated tweets of which Thomson Reuters is not the source. The account has been suspended and is currently under investigation.”
