Syrian Hackers Hijack World Cup Twitter Account
The official Twitter accounts of the World Cup and FIFA's President Joseph Blatter have been hacked, apparently by Syrian hackers. On Monday afternoon, both @FifaWorldCup and @SeppBlatter started sending weird tweets, hinting that hackers had taken over control of the accounts. And it quickly became clear that the messages posted were not from their real owners.
