Syrian President Bashar Assad's E-mail-Id Hacked By Anonymous (#OpSyria)
In Operation Syria (#OpSyria) not only the TV Network of Pro-Government get penetrated but also Syrian president Bashar Assad been targeted by the hacker. Late on Sunday night, Anonymous gained access to 78 different e-mail accounts at the Syrian Ministry of Presidential Affairs, including that of the Minister of Presidential Affairs, Mansour Fadlallah Azzam, and Assad's media adviser, Bouthaina Shaaban. Sadly, it's clear that no one bothered to give Assad's office a lesson in basic computer security, because several of the accounts apparently had the password 12345.
The e-mails from Assad's press advisers suggest the president knew otherwise, and coached Assad on specific ways to deflect common American criticisms:
"It is hugely important and worth mentioning that 'mistakes' have been done in the beginning of the crises because we did not have a well-organized 'police force.' American psyche can be easily manipulated when they hear that there are 'mistakes' done and now we are 'fixing it.' It's worth mentioning also what is happening now in Wall Street and the way the demonstrations are been suppressed by policemen, police dogs and beatings."
