Description

The latest victim of the Syrian Electronic Army is ShareThis.com, the popular sharing platform. ShareThis is only the latest in a long line of Internet companies targeted by the hacktivists. The hackers gained access to the GoDaddy account of ShareThis.com and altered the nameserver settings so that the sites visitors would be redirected to the Syrian Electronic Armys official website.
