It appears new year starts with bad luck for the Microsoft. Microsoft has found itself under the radar of Syrian Electronic Army, one of the popular syrian hacker group known for high profile website hacks.
Few hours after we yesterday reported that Microsoft official twitter account hijacked, their blog also got hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army(SEA).
The group managed to create an articled entitled "Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army" in the Microsoft official Technet blog(" blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_blog/").
It appears the group still have access to the email accounts of Microsoft. They also published emails sent from one employee to another employee regarding the security breach.
Now, the Technet blog is back up and functioning normally. The attack just came after the hijack of Microsoft Xbox twitter account and official twitter account of Skype. The group also defaced the Skype's blog.
