Ebay and Paypal UK domains Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army

The Syrian Hackers group "Syrian Electronic Army" have added Paypal and ebay's UK domain to their Hit List. In a tweet they confirmed that they were able to hack into the Domain Registry of these two that is managed by Mark Monitor. 

They stated that the reason behind the Hack is the both domains are denying Syrian Citizens the ability to purchase Online Products, paypal was hacked by #SEA

The screenshot in tweet showed that SEA was able to access the admin panel, which they next targeted to change the DNS configuration of the website, thus helps to deface these websites.



Paypal is currently one of the biggest e-commerce business allowing payments and transfers throughout the world. Side by side e-Bay is an American internet consumer to consumer corporation that is being used for online shopping around the globe.

The defaced page showed the message "hacked by Syrian Electronic Army, Long Live Syrian"













The group said that it is a hacktivist operation and no user accounts or data breach . "If your paypal account is down for few minutes, think about Syrians who were denied online payments for more than three years"-- they said in a tweet.
