Pro-Syria hackers put anti-attack message on US Marines site
2013-09-03
[Jpost] Computer hackers aligned with Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now...
struck an Internet recruiting site for the US Marine Corps on Monday, urging troops to "refuse your orders" if the United States attacks Syria.

The attack appeared to be the work of the Syrian Electronic Army, which also recently targeted the New York Times

' website and Twitter.

The hackers posted a message and images on the website www.marines.com, signing it "delivered by SEA," a reference to the Syrian Electronic Army. A Defense Department front man said the site, on commercial network rather than the Defense Department network, had been restored after an outage of a few hours.

The seven-sentence "Message to the United States Marine Corps," said the Syrian Army "should be your ally, not your enemy" against "a vile common enemy" of terrorism.
Rooters adds:
"Refuse your orders," said the message which included six photos of people in military-style uniforms, their faces obscured and holding hand-written messages, such as "I will not fight for Al Qaeda in Syria."
I've seen similar photos circulating on Facebook, tagged, "Support our troops." Interesting.
And LiveLeak claims to have the entire original message, including photos and a translation.
