The hardcore supporter of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad and the online hacktavist Syrian Electronic Army has made an attempt to hack a number of high profile websites-including Yahoo, Amazon, Facebook and Google-by hacking into the domain management service provider MarkMonitor.

It seems as if MarkMonitor was able to block Syrian hackers from causing huge damage. However, according to a screenshot posted by the SEA on their official Twitter account shows that the group successfully breached and gain access to MarkMonitor admin panel designated for Amazon, Facebook, Google and Yahoo.

On February 2, 2014, Syrian Electronic Army had hacked Ebay and PayPal, which are also under MarkMonitor. When we asked SEA if they hacked MarkMonitor again or they already had access from the previous hack? The answer was plain and simple: 

  • We hacked MarkMonitor again. Visa, Reuters, Symantec, Google, Yahoo, eBay, Facebook and many more were affected..

Here are 2 of the exclusive screenshots provided to us by Syrian Electronic Army:
